This photograph was among the effects left by my Great-aunt Mary 'Mollie' Magee Halpin. It is thought to be one of the Geraghty children, my father or one of his brothers, but who? I have compared it to other photographs of my father around this time, and I cannot be sure that it is him because my dad does not appear to have had the same prominent ears as this little lad. Also, I have the First Communion portrait of my father's elder brother Patrick, so I know it is not him. Whoever it is, I think it is a sweet photo.

What a serious little face - and big boots!
ReplyDeleteI am taken back by his small stature, large boots, and short pants! I guess I was not aware that boys wore short pants past about 4 or 5 years of age. He sure does not look much older, 6, maybe 7?? Very interesting photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you find out who he was - he is so appealing with his serious face, dressy clothes ... and those boots and ears!
