Parents of the star, John C. and Cornelia Hallowell Bentley perch on the steps of their Sandy Spring home; son Jack wears a boy's dress in the doorway. John C. served as director of the Savings Institution and in the Maryland House of Delegates.

Seen here as a bride in 1927, Helen Murray Bentley donated seven-plus acres of land for the Sandy Spring Museum in memory of her husband Jack. Today the museum has a permanent exhibit of Bentley memorabilia and a bust of the baseball great.
