This is an original c. 1915 photograph which measures approx. 11 3/4" x 14" in size (with the original matting). It shows the family of Peter J. SIMONS (b. 12 September 1858 in Chicago) and his wife Mary (OCHS) SIMONS (b. 20 July 1858 in Detroit). The last name is sometimes given as SIMON. Peter's father was a Prussian immigrant who came to Chicago in the 1850s, many years before the Great Fire. Peter & Mary lived at #5927 Green Street, Chicago in 1910, and at #2719 35th Street, Chicago in 1920. This photo was likely taken at their 35th Street home (note the bay window shown in the photo and present on the home itself - see snip) which is in the Brighton Park neighborhood. The other individuals in the photo are children and in-laws of Peter & Mary (plus a grandchild). Peter worked as a foreman at a box factory, and later was a locomotive engineer.
