Photo Number 146

I was impressed with the presentation of this 1913 graduation photo. The photo is long, and the card folds to cover it, DI 1913 is on the front.  This photo was taken by Dworshak in Duluth, Minnesota.   This young man was one of seven men and eighteen women to graduate from Duluth Industrial High School.

 This photo is driving me nuts..as you all know this is the week I was featuring men, and this was one of the photos I chose.  Then I unchose it because I had a different one I wanted to share.  Then last night I was sorting through my boxes of old photos looking for photos with an Easter theme.. and I ran onto another one..it is in bad shape..this one is almost perfect.  Do- Do- Do- Do- I took it as a sign..that I needed to a little more research...what are the odds that I would pick up two of the same photos in the same Antique shop on different days?   The photo was speaking to me obviously.

Well now I am listening..and the speaking has stopped.  I did do some research..I found an email for a gal that has an "Oracle"( which I assume is a grouping of photos)  of the Class of 1913..her great aunt was also in this class.  I just wanted to identify my unknown.. The email came back ..undeliverable.  So I just sent a message to the manager of the site..we will see what develops.

I believe that this young mans name is John Hamilton Morgan.  Why?  Because in this box of old photos I have several Morgans..and I featured a Ed Morgan before..and a Morgan was in the Class list.  It was just a feeling...will we ever know??

Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
