Pictured left to right front row: Jimmy Meikle & Ed Brieg; Back row, right to left: H. Woodin, F. Woodin, George Washington Larner (upper left). George (1863-1928) was my great-grandfather and served in customs and immigration in Marcus, WA (c. 1899), Portland, OR (c. 1902-1906), and Seattle, WA (c. 1907-1911), then settled in Wenatchee, WA where he had an apple orchard. I believe "New Whatcom" was an earlier name for Bellingham, WA and I suspect this group of men were involved in customs and immigration at the Blaine, WA US/Canada border crossing. I can only guess that the date of this photo falls somewhere between about 1890 and 1896. Photographer appears to be E.A. Hegg.
