DESCRIPTION
Caption below photo: An early group of Issei men and one woman gather for a portrait in front of Mary Helm Hall, at the Japanese Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in Alameda, CA. In the second row, second from the right side is Masaharu Oba, who came to Alameda in 1907 and shortly after, began working as a Japanese language teacher for the church. By 1917, he had left the school for another career, thus dating this image likely between 1907 to 1917.
