Members of Edward Hopkins Fire House with Westboro Fife and Drum Corps

Title:: Members of Edward Hopkins Fire House with Westboro Fife and Drum Corps
Description:: Black-and-white photograph of a large group of men and teenage boys posing together, consisting of both members of the Edward Hopkins Fire House in Woodville and the Westboro Fife and Drum Corps. The latter group are carrying drums and sticks, and are identified by the writing on their largest drum. There are approximately 60 firemen present, most of whom have the number "2" on their shirts, and they are on average significantly older than the boys from Westboro. Harold S. Wood is apparently one of the firemen in the photo. His name is handwritten on the back of the photo card. However, his age at the time the photo was taken is uncertain.
