Richard Milgate Dettmerwas born in 1917. Ruth Dettmer was born in born-1922. he family appears to have moved to Miami, Florida in 1930. The back of this portrait identified the children as Dale, Richard and Ruth Dettmer . The portait is not dated, but we would guess based on the age of the children here, we would guess the portrait was taken about 1924. The older boy wear a white shirt and tie with knickers and long black stockings. His younger brother wears a button-on sailor suit, kneespcks, and saddle shoes. Their little sister wears a white dress, white long stockings, and strap shoes.
