Figure 1.--Here we see William E. Nadler about 1880. William was photographed at aboyt 11 years of age wearing an elaborate military drummers uniform. The cabinet card portrait was taken by S.A.Taylor from Amsterdam N.Y. We are not sure what kind of uniform William is wearing. He is too young to actually be in the Army. Perhaps he is a military school cadet. Thre are other possibilities.

Or possibly it is just a costume. about 1880. William was photographed at aboyt 11 years of age wearing an elaborate military drummers uniform.
