Who Are These Men?



We've been going through old pictures and found the above. Who are these men? Jagos, add-on founders of Denton, my Mother's people? Or just some random gang my Great Great Grandmother happened to know and like. Both options are more than possible, combined. 

That in mind, you get the feeling from the photo that there wasn't much law here back in the day. And think, "back in the day" means what, 1918-20? Something like that, and something like that wasn't so very far from the frontier and all that went with it. Respect.

Regardless, any help with a positive ID would be most appreciated.

Happy Thanksgiving


Drove to Durant Oklahoma today with Ma LSP and two of the sisters. 'Why?' you ask. Because my mother's family used to have a house and a ranch there and we wanted to revisit the place. It was good; Durant has the world's largest peanut, a Confederate war memorial,


and nearby Lake Texoma, where my grandfather liked to eat. The Lake Resort's abandoned now. I found it haunting.


Then it was back to Dallas after lunch; a beautiful day and good to get out of town.

So, happy Thanksgiving to all and God bless,
