These photos are of the farm that my grandfather worked on when he was a boy. It was his great uncle's farm. He may or may not be one of the little boys in the front. The other men are most likely the transients he hired to work the farm for cheap. I received these from my distant cousin, the grand daughter of the farm owner.
