This picture was taken in Grant County as far as I know, but I don't know who the man in the picture is.
I've heard that Uriah Childers was a veterinarian in Grant County. I found a picture of him in Elwin Goolsby's book "Our Timberland Home", but can't be sure he and this man are the same.
The Graves family does have a connection to the Childers family - Robert Graves, who was my great-grandfather, had a half-brother named Benjamin. Benjamin's second wife was Matilda Childers. Childers was a married name of hers.
Does anybody recognize the man in this picture?
