It's time for another "found" photo! If you know George and Louise from Illinois, please help.

He looks like he worked for the railroad punching tickets.

First thing I thought. Railroad conductor.

Another pic with the man sitting down and the woman standing...Is this how it was back then?
via Facebook
Alan Keeping I think that it had to do with relative height of the individuals. If the (sometimes much) taller one was siting, the perspective for the camera is better and you can get a closer picture.

I’ve noticed in most of these photos the man is sitting 😊
via Facebook
Robyn Mullen That's because he got shoved down by the shoulders into the chair and told to "stay" by the woman right before the pic was taken! 😅

I've noticed that a lot too that's why I asked if it was that way back then
via Facebook
That was the pose then, the norm. I think mostly because of all the corsets the women wore

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here.
If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.
