Mary L. Hatcher is 4th from the left, seated with her hand on her husband, James Henry Hatcher.
The woman standing at far right is Drusie (Hatcher) Lancaster, my grandmother.

I believe this photo was taken circa 1913/1914 because of other photos I have identified of Drusie
which are dated when she married S.J. Lancaster 14 Oct.1914 and that is exactly how she looked.

The caption says that the boat was built at Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
