I bought this undated photo in Seattle, Washington. It is of a large gathering of people in front of a 3 story house. Perhaps an anniversary celebration, family reunion or another type of gathering. Most all of the men and some of the women have a "ribbon" attached to the chest of their garments.
The only identification on the photo is:
Photographer, Steele, R. I., Waukon, IA
The size of the photo is 10”x12”.
Can anyone help identifying this family or the type of gathering?

From Doris Anderson to the Allamakee coordinator: "The photo was taken in 1907 on Joy Top, the occasion being the 50th wedding anniversary of the C.J. Ericson's. I have sent you a copy of the write up done in the Waukon Standard some years ago, about 1972, when Doc Wiley owned the farm."
