\"\"<\/a>The pictures are not sharp enough for me to definitively identify Tumser, but I’m hoping Ann or possibly Adolph’s granddaughter may be able to pick out one of their relatives.<\/p>\n

Apparently, John B. Capewell of Westville, NJ hung out with these gentlemen. I have four or five similar negatives that I will post in the coming weeks featuring the lads either loafing or clowning around. I’m hoping some eagle-eyed reader recognizes somebody in these photos or possibly a locale.<\/p>\n

The reason I went with this picture is that half of the men are smoking cigars and one has a corncob pipe. Tumser worked in a cigar store and eventually owned one according to the information that Ann Tumser supplied. I thought Adolph may have been handing out the store’s inventory to the lads.<\/p>\n

I’ve separated the men out to provide a better look. Pictured below is John Capewell on the right. Notice the slight blur of his hand. He’s triggering the shutter of the camera by pulling an attached string.
\n\"\"<\/a>Below is the three gentlemen on the left<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>…and then there is this odd fellow brandishing a small pistol.\"\"<\/a>I was wondering if this was Adolph clowning around, but on closer examination, I don’t think it is. Adolph was better looking than this fellow. In the cigar store photo Ann sent me, he vaguely reminds me of actor Anton Diffring.<\/a><\/p>\n
