Name/Title

Unidentified Men

Description

A sepia-toned snapshot of three men sitting on grass. From left to right: a man wearing a dark shirt and dark trousers, holding a hat in his hands; a man wearing a dark newsboy cap, a dark shirt, and trousers, sitting with one leg crossed over the other; a man wearing a light newsboy cap, a light short-sleeved shirt, dark trousers, sitting cross-legged. Several trees and other brush line the background.

Context

The first man on the left is likely one of Dollie Marlin Wasson's brothers or nephews. This snapshot comes from Earl, Dollie, and Dorothy Wasson's family photo album. The photographs in this album are largely unidentified, though they may depict members of the Wasson, Marlin, Smith, Gilliland, and Clouse families. Many of the photographs were taken in Noble Township, though some may have been taken in Liberty Township or Bartholomew County, including Hope (Haw Creek Township), Rugby, and Columbus. Some photographs, especially those depicting WWI barracks and camps, were likely taken out of state and overseas. For a series of corresponding daily journals written by the family between 1916 and 1923, see: 2024.029.028 - 2024.029.032.
