One of these stogie-smoking, shotgun-wielding, good-looking Norwegians ...

was my grandfather, Charles Amble. He is the youngster on the left. From him I inherited my calm demeanor. Googling him, I found out that he has both an elementary school and a library named after him. The cocky looking fellow in the middle is his older brother Seaver, who went on to become sheriff of Clare County, Michigan between 1939 and 1952. On the right is Elmer who, my mom tells me, worked for years at the Clare County Road Commission.

The photo was probably taken around 1910.

It kinda looks like the remains of the wicked witch of the west on the ground in front of them.
Just what were they hunting anyway?

Oh forgot to say, that's a nice history and a proud legacy for you.
And I knew you when!

jim dandy said...

ok ok, I got it now. I blew up the picture, then I could see better.
It is a critter on a coat.
(still looks like the witch though.)

How cool is this! I was noodling around on the web for info that might have appeared about my grandfather... Seaver Amble! My mother was his younger daughter Eileen. I spent many a summer in Harrison, and that included frequent visits to "Uncle Charlie and Aunt Marion" on Budd Lake.

And you are right - Uncle Elmer was a long-time Clare County rado department employee.

Wouldn't mind a back-channel contact - This is intersting stuff.
