Taken in Aberdeen, SD. Donated to the library from Aldora Babcock's estate 1998. Portrait of middle aged man taken by J. Q. Miller, then of Aberdeen, Dakota Territory (before statehood in 1889.) On back of photo is written "G A R Smith." Some confusion here as an undated photo of the shop and its crew was printed in a supplement to the Bremer County Independent of 30 June 1981. The man identified as Smith looks less like this photo than the other 2 men in the picture. Who's who? There is a connection though. Dora Hohnsbehn is in the newspaper view of the tailor shop. The original donation of this portrait was donated to the library from the estate of Dora's daughter Aldora Babcock. Not to further confuse but no record has yet been found to South Dakota.
Additional photographs and resources can be found at the Waverly Public Library on the local and family history page http://www.waverlyia.com/public-library/research/local-and-family-history-collection.aspx Accession No. 98A0047
