I know nothing about this photo except that it was glued into my grandmother's album near photos of her father, Lewis Edward ROBINSON.

I am guessing the man in the front is Lewis but have no idea who the man behing him could be. His father died when he was two. His grandfather died when his father was also young so I do not think it is him either.

Can anyone give me a possible date range for this type of photo? Was this taken by a photographer in a shop or is it the type of thing one might get from a street vendor? Anything you can tell me would help.

My grandmother said that this is Uncle Tice Thompson. The picture had Uncle Tice on it. Irene was able to say that he was known as Uncle Tice.

This is my grandfather Elbert Homer Ramey. I am looking for his parents and family. Elbert Homer or E.H. Ramey said he was born in Benham, Virginia near Bristol, Va. He also said that his father's name was Charles Ramey and that his mother's name was Martha Carter. He also said that he was orphaned as a young boy and raised by an uncle in Pike Co., Kentucky. E.H. had a half-brother named Melvin Oliver Ramey and a half-sister named Frances Victoria Ramey (Fanny). We know that E.H. Ramey fought in World War 1 and received a purple heart. He then married Dorothy Shannon and lived in Wayne Co., Indiana for many years where they had four children including my mother. Elbert Homer Ramey worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad for many years as a brakeman and as a conductor. He died in 1958 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Does anyone know who his parents or other family were or do they have any clues? I can't seem to connect him anywhere.
