Older People Can be Pretty Cool

Ok, here's something old. This a blacksmith shop in Wilcox, PA, taken in the early 1900s, a few years after the turn of the century.

The third man from the right in the white shirt is my paternal grandfather (1870-1963) who was a cabinetmaker. The blacksmith shop was owned by his brother-in-law. I don't know for sure, but the boy next to my GF is probably my oldest uncle who was born in 1897, who looks to be 5-6 years old.

I don't know who any of the other men are, but I'm guessing either of those near the horse is probably the shop owner -- who would be my great uncle. He died before I was born, but I did meet his son in the 1970s.

My father never wanted to get "old". Remarked on it a lot. Like they should take everyone over 60s driver licenses away. He really didn't like old people. Must have been a gunfighter in a previous lifetime. He died at 62.
