This photo of Belle Quednau (in flowered dress facing camera) was taken at Laishley Park during "Old Punta Gorda Day." Mariah Isabella "Belle" McBean Quednau (1895-1990), had resided in Punta Gorda since 1901. Belle Quednau's husband, Arthur Fred Quednau, was the Charlotte County sheriff for sixteen years. Old Punta Gorda, Inc. (now the Punta Gorda Historical Society) was the sponsor of the local history festival. No one else in the photo is identified.
