Asher & Birda's son, Bryce, had this story (from "Some Remembrances of my Mother- Birda Lewis Merkley", written May 2001) to correlate with the photograph above:
"...There is one picture of
them sitting on a bench together before they were married. When Asher showed the picture to his
father, Nelson Jr., who was the Patriarch, he said there was more room on that
bench, they didn’t need to be sitting so close together..."
