This photo was found in an attic wrapped in an old brown bag (grocery bag) stored in an old wicker cat bed.  The present owner of the house has owned it for several years and discovered it while insulating his attic.  He turned the photos and cat bed over to a local newspaper who ran the story.  I read the article at a time when I was researching my family history, and thought that I would try to find someone (in the family) more closely related to these gentlemen than myself. The photo is in remarkable condition for being 123 years old.

The writing on the back of the photo states that it was taken on June 26 1883.  In order from oldest to youngest you have Abel Kendall 91 years, William Kendall 65 years, Festus Kendall 32 years, and Lester Kendall 8 years.
