Figure 1.--We note a photograph of Frans' family on a country outing. By the way they are dressed, we assume they must have been in a car. They are not dressed for a hike out into the country. Perhaps they were visiting family in the country. Frans looks to be about 15 years old, probably about 1925. Frans is with his older sister and parents along a country road. His older brother probably took the photograph. He is still wearing a short trousers suit with long black stockings.

Frans Leferink was the youngest son of the B. J. Leferink family. The family lived in the Twente section of eastern Holland near the German border. The family were farmers, shopkeepers, and tradesman. Frans's father seems to have owned a tobacconist's shop which was called "Cuba" because of the imported tobacco he sold. Cuba was famed for its tobacco and cigars. We note the a photograph of the family on a country outing. By the way they are dressed, we assume they must have been in a car.
