I Do not know the exact date, but this is from when my grandfather was a boy in Texas. He was grown and married by about 1903, so this picture is probably in the late 1800’s.
Besides the angora goats, there is an armadillo in the front left side of the picture, and what looks like an angry opossum in the front right side.

I am not sure who the people are, but I think that the man in the center was probably my grandfather’s adopted father. His mother died when he was young, and he was raised by an adoptive family.
The person on the right is quite possibly my grandfather, as a teenager, since this was one of his photos.

wow HFL... what a picture,.... I spotted the armadillo before I saw your grandfather.:D. fantastic...
 
I knew Pappy would have some old pictures. Very lucky. Ours all burned in a fire of our home. I lost so many wonderful memories of my flying days, including my retirement party. Luckily, my sister does have a few of the family pictures that I copied digitally.
 
Not the oldest, but found this one. It is me, my mom and brother. He was in the Navy. At this time I think it was when he was stationed in Chicago. Excuse the messiness over my absolutely adorable face. I think this was a Polaroud. Remember back in the day when you had to rub that waxy stuff over the pics to help them develop?
