Note the row of houses on the left side. This row of houses formerly stood on Pear Street between Jefferson and Logan Streets.
The family is the Smith family of Lafayette Street. This was a double house and they are seated in the yard of the second house east of Pear Street (note the iron fence directly behind the people). Warner J. Steel Mill is in the background. The picture was probably taken by an itinerant photographer who either lived there or was photographing for the day at that location. In 1884 Josiah was a wool sorter in the mills. Their home was on Lafayette Street near Cedar Street.
