Two Amigos
I guess they are amigos. I can’t think of another reason to have their picture taken together.
I don’t think they are brothers, though they do appear to have the same seamstress. And maybe they are brothers, though I don’t think they look alike.
On the reverse is written “Uncle John Unruh left.” If they were brothers, wouldn’t the name of the other person be given as well?
Do you think he’s the same person as the one in this photo?
The handwriting on the back of the first picture looks like my grandmother’s, which would make John Unruh her father-in-law, not uncle.
But maybe it’s not her handwriting. The only John Unruh I can find in my database that would fit this approximate time period is my great-grandfather John B. Unruh, the same man in the second photo.
What do you think? And how about those overalls?!
Deb,
The first photo of John B Unruh is VERY close to the picture of him when he married Matilda . . . . . The large picture that your Mom gave me.
ps what is on the porch next to the older pic of John B???

What?!!
My mother gave you a big picture of John B?
*just kidding*
Glad to know that. But I probably do want a copy.
Don’t you think those are shoes and and maybe some sort of sledge hammer head laying on the porch? I’ve tried to make some sort of shoe scraper out of it, but it just looks like the head of a sledge hammer–what do you think?
