Five surnames make up the title here: Hempstead, Coombs, Rohlfs, Sherman, and Johns. They suggest a group of several named people, but the record does not say who they were or what brought them together. The title comes from caption cards and negatives marked by the Bain News Service, and it is unverified, so treat the names as a lead rather than a settled identification. Bain's New York agency supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives capture the news and public life of that period.
