In my last blog I mentioned that a relative had passed and lots and lots of old pictures dating back into the 1800's were left behind. Jack Flournoy Henry V had never married and had no children so it could be the end of the line for the Jack Flournoy Henrys.
Among the photographs were these two which grabbed my attention because they were not posed to show their faces as most professionally done photos are. The first one has a name on it, Dorthy Carson, and the photograph has Reynolds, Burlington Iowa on the front.
The second one is even more interesting because it looks as if two little girls are posed perhaps reading a book. Hill & Everett from Burlington were the photographers on this one. And on the back are names, Louise Henry and Jack Henry 4. So this must be brother and sister! And it must be Jack Flournoy Henry IV that is posed.
Did I once hear that little boys were dressed in dresses just as girls were? And do you think that the photographer was being very, very creative?
