Although there are only six brothers in this picture, there were three more born later to make a total of nine children, all boys. My grandpa is the youngest boy pictured in the front. The boy next to him was his brother that died at the age of 9. Although my grandpa was very young when his older brother died, he says he still remembers it because of how devastated his mother was. The boy was battling what they thought was the flu and ended up being a burst appendix which poisoned his entire body and killed him.
