This picture was given to me by my Dad, R. L. {Mike} Abell before he died in 1976. Dad told me the man on the left was his grandfather, but he didn't know who the man on the right was.  When I started searching for info about 20 years ago I found a man who was descended from my Abell line. He sent me an identical picture and said the man on the right was his gggrandfather, Benjamin Franklin Abell with his brother John Miller Abell, {my ggrandfather}. WOW! What a surprise. And so my "cousins" list began and continues to grow

Answer 1

Great Photo ..

The gentleman on the left is definitely wearing a Masonic Lapel Pin.

I like the different shirt ties.

 

C'est Bon

Thank You Cousin Jerry for sharing this picture of my 7th cousins! (Jerry is my 10th cousin) I wasn't here in 2016 so I'm bumping this back up!
