This is an old photo that I acquired through a distant relative. It was tightly glued in a tattered old photo album that my Great-Grandma McCall (Etoyl Montgomery McCall) kept by her bedside. Even though the photo was unlabeled in the album, I recognized this as a photo of her parents. My guess would...
