Portrait of attendees to the 80th birthday party for James Francis Beals, in 1926. He is standing in center left, a tall man in a dark suit with a white shirt forming a visible "V". To his left (to the right in picture) and slightly ahead of him in a white dress with rounded collar is third wife, Elizabeth Rhoades Ashbaugh. To his left (to the right in picture)in a dark coat is his first son, Charles Beals. His son, James Elgie Beals is visible directly over his right shoulder. The young woman to his immediate right, in a scoop-neck dress, is probably one of his three daughters, perhaps Bernice,the oldest. Two other young women are visible over his left shoulder, possibly daughters Florence and Minta. Elgie's wife, Winnifred May Kline is in the second row, 2nd from right in dark dress with a white button. Two of their children are in the picture: Bertha Irene Beals in front row, 8th from right (of the two little girls dressed in dark dresses, Bertha is on the left, shorter, blonder). Ella May Beals is standing in the second row, directly behind Bertha, also in a dark dress.
