Circa 1891 cabinet photos of young brothers Wycliffe Sentz and John Appleton Sentz of Charleston, West Virginia. The photographs were taken at the Proctor & Thompson studio on Capitol Street at Charleston, West Virginia.
These photographs belong to friend Bernadette, who, in the hopes of reuniting them with family, relayed them to me.
The reverse of the photograph of Wycliffe Sentz has this handwritten text: "A fair exchange is no robery [sic]"
From brief online research, hopefully correct: [corrections and additions requested!]
Wycliffe Sentz was born June 2, 1879 at Charleston, West Virginia, the son of John W. Sentz and Sarah Ann (Rhodes) Sentz. In 1917, Wycliffe married Edna W. McConnell, daughter of Willis A. McConnell and Julia Frances (Donnett), "Lillie" and "Julie". Edna was born in Ohio about May 1898.
