2 UNKNOWN PHOTOGRAPHS - old
I purchased these from an antique store here in West College Corner, IN.I hope someone will be able to return them to their families.They may or may not belong to the same families either.
The "postcard" photo has written in pencil on the back the following:
Paul is about 22 mo. old here.I will send these just the same even if they arent so good.They were taken up home.Anna
He is dressed in dark clothing, with a winter stretch hat (with a ball on top).There is just an arm pictured of the adult standing with him.They are on a wooden porch (with an old wooden screen door sligtly cracked).There is a broom and something else (wheelbarrel??) on the porch behind them.Boy is not smiling...and his legs are spread apart a bit, standing to the photographer.
The second photo has this on the bottom:
Carp. Eaton, ALLEN, MICH.This is a shiny "hard" photo.On the back, written in pencil is "Harriet" at the top.At the bottom is Dec.29-1890
This gentlemen has dark hair (slicked and parted to the side) with a receding hair line, and light eyes.It is a picture from the bust and up.He wears a dark suit, white shirt, and dark bowtie.He has thin lips and a slightly oversized mustache...that is "twisted" on the ends.
If anyone knows anything about these photos, or needs additional information...please contact me.God Bless.
