This little man had his portrait taken at Elarton Studio in Aurora, Nebraska sometime before John Wesley Elarton's death in 1919. There is no name on this anywhere, I'd guess he is about six years old give or take a year. He has such a sweet, sad expression on his face as if he's not thrilled to be standing there in that suit. Those large ruffled collars for boys were popular around 1910. Frame measures 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, photo is 3 x 5-1/2 and is glued onto the heavy cardstock back with an embossed decorative trim.
Boy - Aurora - 1910. Doesn't narrow down the possiblities much. The fact that this photo was in the collection that came from my Great Grandma Sadie McGrath might help me a little bit. Someone she knew must have given her this photo. I'm hoping to find someone who knows this boy.
