This is a candid image of the mother and son at home in Quakertown. In the photograph Susie looks to the side while her son looks directly at the camera. Both of them are sitting down on a lawn with a fence surrounding them.

Dr. Moten’s daughters Myrtle Bell Moten and Carrie Annetta Moten lived in Quakertown when they were young girls. Carrie Annetta Moten born in 1908 and Myrtle Bell Moten was born less than a year later in 1909. The girls lived in Quakertown from 1910 - 1922. Much of their early childhood was spent in Quakertown. In this formal picture taken of the children, they sit and stand on a chair, dressed up in white lacy clothes, with bows in both their hair.
