Pete Henson, 414 C Street. Mother said he was twelve two months ago, but has been sweeping in the Merrimack Mill for seven months, so he began at eleven years. Brother Edward said to be thirteen years, but doubtful. Mother said they had no Family Record here and gave me ages from memory. See Hine report. Location: Huntsville, Alabama.

![The image is a vintage black and white photograph featuring three individuals standing in front of a wooden slat wall. The central figure, who appears to be a young boy with dark hair and stern expression, stands slightly ahead of the others. He wears overalls with suspenders and has his hands resting on his thighs.
To the left of the center child is an adult partially visible, wearing work clothes which suggest manual labor attire typical of early 20th century industrial workers. The person's face isn't fully seen but indicates a more mature build than that of the central figure.
On the right side stands another individual in similar clothing to the first, suggesting they are part of the same working-class group or family unit as indicated by their proximity and style of dress which is utilitarian with exposed work gloves on one hand. This person's face isn't visible either but indicates a more mature build than that of child.
The photograph has signs of wear and age such as fading, creases, spots, and yellowish tint typical for historical black-and-white prints from the early 1900s era when Lewis Hine was active in his photography projects. The caption references this context by mentioning "Hine report," suggesting that it might be part of a larger photographic study or documentary on labor conditions during that time period, likely related to child labor issues.

Frank Baldwin. Been spinning and doffing in Merrimack Mills for a year and a half, so he went to work at least at eleven years old, if we can believe the Family Record which says he is thirteen this month, but indications are that the record had been changed. See Hine report. Location: Huntsville, Alabama.

Gracie Clark, 268 A Street (with a white dress) has been a spinner in the filling room of Merrimack Mill for three years. Her Life Insurance Policy gives her age thirteen years now, so she began working at ten years. See Hine report. Location: Huntsville, Alabama.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting five individuals, likely from an earlier time period given the style of clothing. At the center stands a young girl in a sleeveless dress with dirt on her face and hands, suggesting she might be working or living under difficult conditions. To her left is another child dressed in dark clothes holding onto what appears to be a man's arm for support.
Behind these two are three more children - one of them being held by the same adult whose hand can be seen supporting it from behind; their faces show signs of distress and dirtiness, similar to the girl at the center. The background features wooden structures which could suggest an outdoor setting or possibly a makeshift dwelling made out of wood.
The image seems to capture a moment in time that reflects hardship and underprivileged living conditions during what might be considered historical times for social justice movements related to child labor laws. This photograph was likely taken by Lewis Hine, known for documenting the harsh working conditions faced by children at mills like Merrimack Mill mentioned in Gracie Clark's life story.

![The image is a vintage black and white photograph depicting a young girl standing in front of an old wooden building with visible wear. The girl appears to be around ten years old, based on her height relative to the door frame behind her. She has reddish-brown hair worn in a simple hairstyle at the back of her head, wearing a light-colored dress that is frayed and torn in places, suggesting it may have been worn for some time or not well-maintained.
Her expression is somber and solemn as she looks directly into the camera lens. She has bare feet and stands on what appears to be dirt ground scattered with pieces of trash such as paper and fabric scraps. The condition of her dress, combined with the state of disrepair in which she seems to find herself, hints at a challenging living situation.
The photograph is identified as being part of Lewis Hine's work documenting child labor during his time working for the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC), specifically within Merrimack Mills. The mention suggests that this image was taken in Huntsville, Alabama and depicts Madeline Causey who had been a worker there for four months at ten years old.
