Figure 1.-- We have two portraits taken of Charley in 1872. He would have been about 13 years old. He wears a long pants suit. Ot looks like it may be a wool flannel suit. It is plain without any pattern. There is a matching vest (waistcoat). He wears a shirt that appears to have a small pointed collar. With it he wears a kind of ribbon tie. For some reason he has not combed his hair for the portrait. Image coutesy of the MD collection. |

Notice his boater hat on the table. It has a particularly wide hat band.
