Figure 1.--Here we see a portrait of Edwin L. Bennett. The writing on the back of the portrait is a little difficult to read so the middke initial may be a "T". We do not know where in America he was from. We do know that he was 7 years old, in fact 7 years 3 months. The portrait was taken October 7, 1916. He would have been in second grade if he attended school. Edwin has ringlet curls. This was by the 1910s not very common, especially for school age boys. We suspect that he was being tutored at home. We do not note boys wearing ringlet curls during the 1910s to school, even younger boys than Edwin. His clothing is a little more difficult to make out. He seems to be wearing a blouse, but we are unsure about the collar type.
