The man sitting on the left (by the missing chip in the photo) is Raymond Milferd Sleeper (1889-1936). I would put a ballpark -pardon the pun- date of 1905-1910. Ray's gr-grandfather was Peter Sleeper, who came to Iowa in the 1840's, and helped to settle the town of Delmar. Those in the photo are: First row -- Ray Sleeper, Dan Kelly, John Donley and Jay Grinrod Middle row -- Ransom Means, Charles Welch, Earl Grinrod and Roger Spain Back row -- Bill O'Grady and Charles Goodjohn. ============================================= World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 Record Name: Ray M Sleeper City: Delmar County: Clinton State: Iowa BirthPlace: Delmar, Iowa Birth Date: 24 Jul 1889 Race: Caucasian Roll: 1642992 DraftBoard: 2 Age: 28 Occupation: Dewitt Telephone Co.
