Black and white photo of an older man and woman standing side by side in front of a wooden building. The man, George Armstrong (Helen "Ma" Armstong's husband) is on the left and is wearing a white shirt, polka-dot tie, suspenders, and high-waisted trousers. The woman, Helen “Ma” Armstrong, is on the right and is wearing a patterned dress and smiles slightly. Both appear relaxed, surrounded by tall flowers and plants.
