<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 251141, member: 44"]Like Baker and Evelyb.. said about the boy's hat, I also think it looks like a kepi. Quite a variety of hats the men are wearing form top hats, bowlers to straw/skimmers/boaters. It doesn't look like a family reunion for don't see much family resemblance among them. I agree not a Masonic or a fraternal group for no fraternal trappings are being worn. I'm leaning towards a local GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) get-together with the boy wearing a kepi of that era. With such a group, the men were the center of attention leaving the women and girls secondary objects stuck up on the porch. But..... then those GAR groups did have pins and ribbons similar to fraternal orders. Soooo no help from this corner of the world for you, Bev. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
