This picture shows the garage and backyard of the Truman home at the time of Margaret Truman's wedding. There is an umbrella and a few people visible. There is a car in front of the garage.

Carrying "homework," Harry S. Truman walks across the yard from the garage as he goes home to lunch from the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, Missouri. His walk has slowed but still is fast for almost 80 (May 8). He takes a nap during his lunch recess from work, and is 12-14 pounds heavier, but otherwise much as he was when he left the White House 11 years ago. He's in great demand as a speaker, but finds time to shop for groceries with his wife. (Distance view of backyard with Mr. Truman walking toward the house). From: Houston Post.
