Caption: The De Chamber Family Marker
Additional Description: Captions (left to right): Ranch children attended the Mono Lake School which was located near highway 395, a four-and-a-half-mile trip. In the winter, kids skied to school. Herbert De Chambeau is seated second from the right.; The De Chamber family takes a moment from its chores to pose for a picture (Left to right: Louis W., Mary, Annie, Dewey, and Violet and Darius in front). Many of the photos you see here were taken by Violet De Chamber (shown right, with lambs) with her Brownie camera. The family had little time for games; summer and winter, running the ranch meant everyone worked from dawn to dark.; Here, Violet De Chamber has her hands full with a lamb and a mother sheep (1924).; Louis W. De Chambeau's second wife, Mary (Currie) De Chamber was known throughout the basin for her wonderful pea soup and creamed new potatoes and peas - made with produce grown on the ranch.
