Edmund is toddler age, wears a light-colored dress with a ruffled collar, his hair is long and pulled back from the face. Edmund is between Eddie and William, standing in their laps as they sit.

Eddie wear a patterned gigot sleeved dress with a lace collar. Her hair is in a high chignon bun and is pregnant. William wears a dark button-down shirt with a tie and pin attached to his breast, has a mustache, and his hair is cut short, parted to the side and swooped back.

Edmund became a film actor in early Hollywood, known primarily for being a stunt devil and for preforming in Westerns.
