Thank you very much for the thought--Although he wasn't Baptist---he was a member of the Bethlehem Evangelical Church in Louisville. Also, I recognized one of the other young men pictured--and I think he was alsoa member of that church. So, it is possible that the photo was of the Bethlehem Young Men's Class (BYMC). Your comment really helped stimulate me to thinking about a possible religious organization connection.
