Ralph Dean and others
The young gentleman in the middle is my G-Grandfather Ralph Dean son of Sermon "Serm" Pierce Dean and Elizabeth "Betty" Caroline Register Dean. I would love to find out the identity of the other two in the photo. Judging by Ralph's apparent age and other factors, I have estimated the date of the photo to 1917.*
The stamp on the back says "Morris Carter Photography Co., 2119 P. O. St., Galveston, Tex"**
*Texas received over 8 inches of snow in January, 1917 which is abnormal for the region. (measured in DFW)
**Post Office Street changed names to Avenue E in 1913, but M-C continued to advertise the address as "2119 P. O. St." and "2119 Ave. E" interchangeably.
