This is Henry Van Dyke, clergyman, author and professor. He was also US Minister to the Netherlands during WWI so this probably on one of his trips to or from the Netherlands. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_van_Dyke

Perhaps best remembered as a poet. His wife also looks very Dutch.

Presbyterian Clergyman, native of Germantown, Pennsylvania. Author of the beloved hymn "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee". Read more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Van_Dyke

This is Henry Van Dyke, clergyman, author and professor. He was also US Minister to the Netherlands during WWI so this probably on one of his trips to or from the Netherlands. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_van_Dyke The man on the far right is his son Tertius Van Dyke. (note his name is mispelled) Mrs. Hamilton Gibson is his daughter, Brooke. I haven't figured out who G.R. McLean is yet.

Keep at it, j3net, you're doing fine. We'll fill in and correct some of the names in the caption the next time we update the record. Please let us know when you learn more about G.R. McLean.

I found him. He must be Guy Richards McLane [note spelling], a stockbroker who was married to Dorothea Van Dyke, another daughter of Henry Van Dyke. Dorothea died in childbirth in 1912 and her husband and father founded "Dorothea's House" in Princeton in her memory. www.dorotheashouse.org/1913.html

There's one other misspelling, according to this genealogy www.vandyke-smith-family.com/vandyke-o/p30.htm#i2871 the other daughter's name should be Paula, not Faula.

Great research j3net, thank you so much for your contributions. We'll make the corrections and add some of the information to the record the next time we update.
