Per Donna (Kerfoot) Manegre, daughter of Frieda (Richards) Kerfoot , the little girl in the picture was a neighbor girl that snuck in the picture. Myria was apparently not very happy when she got the picture back and saw the little girl in it according to Frieda. Keep in mind, people didn't have personal cameras back then.
