If you have any further info on the other brothers or especially May (her married name) it may pin this down. My charles lived with his sister in indiana when he died in about 1955. Unbelievably, we the grandkids, never knew anything about his family. No pictures or letters of anykind. That picture of the horse and ezekiel ? looks somewhat like charlie but we can't be sure about this whole family line without something more.
