Typed description accompanying portrait: "This is the wedding photo of Henry Groh Aierstock and Fanny Derstler Frey. They were married in 1890 at Creswell Evangelical Congregational Church in Conestoga. They are buried there. One of their children, Jacob Frey Aierstock, married Blanche Sneath Christ. And one of their children, Marie Aierstock Brubaker, widow of John H. Brubaker, Jr., gave this photo to the Lancaster County Historical Society in 2011. Years earlier, Mrs. Brubaker had given Fanny Derstler's wedding gown to the society, which displayed it for a time."
