These photos were provided by Ralph Dietle, who grew up in Larimer Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania on the farm of his father Irvin Henry Dietle. On a computer you can make the photos smaller by reducing the size of the window.
The following two photos of Ralph Dietle were taken on the farm of his parents Irvin and Alma (Miller) Dietle.
The three pictures that follow appear to have been taken on the same day. The back of the one on the left is inscribed, "Ralph was 2 yrs. & 2 mo old when this was taken Dad was 47". The backs of the other two are inscribed, "Daddy & Ralph". It is obvious to me that the two left-hand pictures were taken on the sidewalk near the farmhouse on the farm of Irvin and Alma (Miller) Dietle.
Based on his outfit, this photo of Ralph may have been taken on the same day as the preceding three photos. I don't recognize the location where the photo was taken.
