Three Little Girls Circa 1912 This photo was pasted on the inside of the back cover of the oldest photo album that Helen Land gave me. Several months after Helen went into the nursing home I started bringing her enlarged copies of some of the old photos which she would look at for hours. While she rarely remembered who I was she was pretty sharp about naming everyone in the photos. She repeatedly identified this trio as May Moseley, Grace Courier and Zabeth. She could never recall Zabeth's last name and once told me that Zabeth was the daughter of someone who worked with Percy. In 2008 I bought "The History of Central Islip" written in 1954 by Verne Dyson. She says: Christopher Wohlfarth retired as school janitor (custodian) September 30, 1943, after thirty-five yeast of faithful and steady service. A farewell party was given him and he was awarded a plaque and other gifts. He has since died. His widow, May, is living in the village. Their children were Zabeth (Mrs. Yarusso of Central Islip) and Wesley of Islip

The census indicates that Zabeth Walfarth was born circa 1912. I believe that the Zabeth in the picture may be Zabeth Wohlfarth.

	Libby Land, the daughter of Joseph Land, doing her "famous split".

In December 1990 Helen sent copies of four old pictures to Libby Land. Helen kept notes on the pictures that she sent to Libby. Regarding this photo, Helen said " This is you doing your famous split. I took it in June 1926 when you mom chaperoned my "friendly club" gang at "Tumble Inn (Gould's camp at Fort Salenao on the Long Island Sound)." Libby Land married Obadiah Harbey Faircloth. Her nephew, Michael Tyrkala, says Obadiah's nickname was "O.H." and his nieces and nephews called him "Uncle H."
