This picture may have been taken in either 1892 or 1895 when the child could have been Leonidas or Walter. After that, there would have been more than one child who would have possibly been in the picture, also.
This picture is a photo of the framed photograph. It may have been taken by Joe Jones.
I do not know where the original is located.
