Now unfortunately, on back of this picture was written "cousin John and wife"
Having scanned tens of thousands of old pictures, I run into this quite often...one name on the front and a different name on back.
Sometimes I can figure out that the name on back is the intended person of the photo, but in this case I worry it might actually be Mr. and Mrs. John & wife on
the photo instead of the Ewoldt couple.
So if you are related and/or have pictures from relatives from this era of Manning - please check to see if you might have this same picture and hopefully
it will be identified.
Thanks,
Dave
For those of you who visit my website often, you'll see me comment about resolution, scanning, and restoration.
Here is what the original photo looked like before I did some digital restoration.
The splotch on the man's right cheek is actually deterioration, similar to
a mold but it is deteriorating in the paper and print.
Having scanned pictures over decades, and sometimes getting the same old picture back, I've
seen how this deterioration continues to get worse and spread...along with the acid in the paper, this is why these old pix need to be
properly scanned right now, before the degradation gets so bad it will be difficult to digitally repair in the future.
