"Mrs. William J. Sparks, widow of Poolville's late beloved "country doctor," is shown here with one of his old ledger books." Mrs. Sparks is wearing a simple floral pattern dress without any jewelry. She is looking somberly at the ledger book. To her side is a radio. Behind her, a clock, chigger lotion, a jar, a book, and other miscellaneous objects are resting on a covered piece of furniture, perhaps a sewing machine.
