The Calvary with Claude and Raymond Smith


Myrna said: This is a huge photo. I had to scan it a bit at a time. My cousin, Garth, has the original which the family has kept rolled up. I made this photocopy. Then I had also had a negative professionally made from the original. I can’t seem to put my hands on it. So this is scanned in pieces and then put back together. 

Both Raymond James Smith and his brother, Claude Smith are in the photo.

Thanks for it anyway.

there. All the photos I am sending you are in my grandmother's photos. That is all it says about them.
I thought that you may recognize which man was which. I know them only from photos. I didn't know how many photos of each of them you had seen. I need to get out a magnifying glass, I guess. I'm not certain I can tell even then. There is no writing on the back of the photo.

The Smith boys were good-looking and clean-shaven. I need to compare the faces in zoom mode with their photos and see if I can find them. As we looked at the photos, my children and I, one seemed to think my grandfather is third from the left and is seated. On better inspection, I do not think that it is.
