Scope and content
Some Tacoma youngsters celebrated their Southern heritage by attending a birthday party honoring Confederate General Robert E. Lee on January 19, 1924 at the home of the C.P. Gammons, 2706 No. Junett. The party was hosted by the Daughters of Dixie chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The children are dressed in their Sunday best with the two girls in the middle sporting costumes complete with lace pantaloons. The girls are, left to right, Janet Baldwin, Madeline Kirk, Eleanor White and "Billy" Austin; the boys are unidentified. (TNT 1/21/1924, pg. 7) G24.1-003
