Dr. Pope's home is a museum in Raleigh, NC., and the curator/director of the Pope House Museum is seeking information to identify the people and the place in this photograph.

At first look, they could be Life Savers, possibly Pea Island...?
And then the woman in the center...what is her story?

They also look like they could be veterans of the Civil War or the Spanish American War Dr. Pope was a soldier in that war. So it could be from that time.

Do you recognize this photograph or the people in it?
