This picture is normally in a massively ornate gold-leaf frame, but I removed it earlier this week to scan the picture. I discovered this picture in Bill’s parent’s farm house when we were cleaning it out in 2001. Unfortunately, there is no writing on the back – no names, no dates. The figure standing on the right standing with the horses looks very much like Bill’s father, so I suspect it might be his dad’s grandfather, or maybe great-grandfather. From the looks of the clothing, I’d say the picture was taken around the 1880s, maybe 1890s.
Wow!
So interesting and cool 🙂
