Are these men members of the UPDIKE, HOLSTEIN or PETERSON families?
Why are they wearing sashes with photographs in them?
~ What could be the significance of the sashes? ~
This photo was contributed by
"Elayne" who believes these men in the photograph are relatives. The photo was
taken by J.V. Dabbs in Fort Scott, Kansas probably around 1889-1890.
What is the significance of these
sashes that contain old cabinet card photos? Was this a common way to display
family photographs? Who could these people be?
