Boy in Cap
Photographer: unknown
Pictured: unknown
Notes: "I also bought another picture of a little [boy] in a cap. The cap has some writing on it but the only word I can read is Bryan...
The pictures [J.M. Dean and boy in cap] were both purchased at the same estate sale. There were other photos, I assume all were from the same family. I believe that there were indications that made me believe that they were all from the upper mid-west. Bob " - Bob Wunderlich
Johnson McFadden Dean(?) and child in front of Hardware Store
Date: unknown
Photographer: unknown
Pictured: possibly Johnson McFadden Dean and child
Notes: a.k.a., John Dean, Mack Dean, and most often, J.M. Dean. Is this the same man as seen in the photo below? Are these two men the same?
"I believe this is Johnson McFadden Dean, who was a hardware store owner and tinner in Marengo. I think he had a store on the square. He was the son-in-law of William Snavely, who is probably the man below. He was my great grandfather." - Margaret Wenzel
William Snavely(?) and child at store-front
Date: unknown
Photographer: unknown
Pictured: possibly William Alexander Snavely and child.
Notes: Is this the same man as above? "I believe this is William Alexander Snavely, a businessman from Marengo in front of his store on the square. He lived in Marengo for years. He married a great aunt, Mary Jane Dean.
"Of course, I’m not sure that the pictures are of two different people. The way they are standing in such a similar manner, could mean they are of the same person!" - Margaret Wenzel
Is the building on the end the same building pictured in the photo above? It appears to be so.
Photographer: Margaret Wenzel
Pictured: Buildings on the town square in Marengo, Iowa County, Iowa
Notes: "I visited Marengo about 10 years ago [circa 1996] and took some pictures around the square and I think this building was still standing at that time." - Margaret Wenzel
