In the background is the Delta Mills Bridge. In the foreground you can see the water which had risen over the banks of the Grand River, past the Grist Mill and up to where L.D. Wilson stands alone.
Wilson married Lela Ann Ingersoll, who was the great granddaughter of Erastus Ingersoll the first settler of Delta Township.
