Found Friday - Brothers

In the past year, fewer and fewer “found” items, grocery lists, sticky tab notes, homework, love notes and reminders, have been turning up. I have no idea why this is. In times past, I have found at least one interesting scrap of paper on every trip out to the grocery store or a neighboring state. But the pickings have been slim to none lately. So, until the scavenging improves, I will run a particularly fine “found” photograph from over in LOST GALLERY on each Found Friday. Just to fill in the gaps.

This deckled edged cabinet card was found in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

On Reverse:
Lester & Laurence Emery
====================

Here is what I found:
Lester and Laurence Emery were two of six children born to William Henry and Hattie Eliza Emery

Lester J. was born 10 May1894 and died in 1955. In 1919 he married Selma (maiden name unknown).

Laurence E. was born 8 Nov 1896 and died in 1959. He married Hattie (maiden name unknown.)

The photograph was probably taken about spring of 1898.
