<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasperscuriosities, post: 63611, member: 404&quot;]So now I am just filled with an incredible saddness. It seems after the death of these two little boys the parents moved to East Texas where my great grandfather and other family members were already living. They never had any other children. Which means there was no one to pass these pictures onto expect family like my grandmother who would have been their niece. I so wish I could find the other boy and I also wish I knew if this was Francis or Ernest. I could never let this portrait go now that I have a better understanding of the story. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t imagine losing a child. To lose 2 within a day of each other and so young just 2 and 4 my heart just aches. I realize this happened ages ago but gosh it&#039;s just so tragic and sad. I am seriously shedding tears just thinking about it. Looking into the eyes of that little baby and imagining the time with him his mother lost. So incredibly sad.</p><p><br /></p><p>I promise I will never put him in the closet again. I will find him a place that he can feel welcomed. Hubby is just going to have to suck it up. </p><p><br /></p><p>I did take the other backing off. The only thing written on the back of the photo was some numbers. I put it all back together and corrected the birthdays and added the name Francis to Milford. Milford was his middle name. I also requested a picture of the graves and left a little note on each of the online memorials. </p><p><br /></p><p>My relatives from that side were extremely poor people. I am surprised that they had such nice portraits done of their children. Most of the pictures I have or have seen of family from these times on that side are not this professional I guess would be the word.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
