<p>[QUOTE=&quot;smallaxe, post: 3317167, member: 13430&quot;]Folks here are pretty clever, so maybe you all can help me solve a photo mystery. This photo is one of many photos taken by my wife&#039;s great grandfather between 1902 and 1905 during numerous trips to south east Arizona to visit mines in which he was involved. I&#039;ve identified the location of most of the photos, but several have me stumped. What makes it harder (besides the fact that none of the photos are labeled) is that he also took some photos during the rail journey to Tucson AZ (there is one of Judge Roy Bean&#039;s house in Langtry Texas). He also may have taken some photos in northern Mexico.</p><p>Here is a photo of a church or mission that I&#039;ve spent many hours unsuccessfully searching to find the location. Another of his photos shows the St. Xavier del Bac mission that&#039;s just south of Tucson. This doesn&#039;t look like that building. I&#039;m hoping the clothing may provide a clue. Also, several people have their hand to their mouth. At first I thought they were hiding their face from the camera, but I think they are chewing something. Maybe that&#039;s a cultural clue. Finally, there is a young person in the photo, and it seems like I remember seeing a Henry S Curtis photo showing a man with a similar hat and wrapped the same, but I sure can&#039;t find it now. If anyone knows where this is, or can offer some insight that might provide clues, I will be in your debt.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]299009[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]299010[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]299011[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
