My Great-grandfather and his brother-in-law. A couple of hardy latterday Vikings ready to explore the world? All bundled up to go work as lumberjacks? What made them decide to get their picture taken in a studio while dressed up in work clothes? They have their whole life ahead of them still. What did they hope to do? To accomplish? How would they like to be remembered? My Great-Grandfather died 86 years ago last November when my grandpa was only a month old. They combined the funeral and baptism into one service because the pastor did not live close by. How conflicted my great-grandma must have felt during the service. Joy for her new baby boy...sorrow for the loss of her husband...wish you could find out somehow, don't you?
