York family, West Union, Nebraska

summary: Photographer's annotation: "Mr. York, one of the early settlers south of West Union in a debate on women's suffrage one time he said he did not believe in ladies voting. He thought the dear ladies should not have to bother their brain about pollitics (sic). But sit in their parlor in an easy chair and direct their house work. It is said he would bring his wife home from the neighbors at the end of a black snake whip and whip her home when she stayed longer than he thought proper."
