The above photo of John Charles DeWitt and family was probably taken sometime between 1930 and 1931, based on the approximate age of Helen Pearly DeWitt and the fact that John DeWitt has not been born yet. Location of where the photo was taken is unconfirmed but it may be in a photo studio somewhere in Bukit Mertajam/Penang since Helen Pearly DeWitt was baptised there.
