Hi everyone - this isn't my family, but, I thought someone might be interested:

"Just a wonderful large photo of the women's basketball team 1907 in Berrien
Spring, Michigan. It shows the six players, in uniform, and the male coach holding a ball
with "07" on it. They are all identified on the back in ink on a glued on piece
of paper. Also glued on the back is a note on how to size it by the Berrien Springs
Journal-Era. (perhaps it appeared in the newspaper. The photographer is embossed into the
bottom of the mat as "Dilley, Berrien Springs, Mich. The photo, itself, measures 8
7/8 x 7 1/2 and its mounted onto a cardboard mat making the entire item 13 7/8 x 10
3/4."
Other girls on the team: Mae Wiest Bowerman, Ione Helmick Palmer, Grace Lemon, Marian
Brown, and Mildred McNally.
Good luck!
