| Photograph was taken at the G. H. Thornbrue Studio in Adel, Iowa. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Jonathan's birthdate indicated as "born Aug 11 1858" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Jonathan and his family: Jonathan M.
