The two photographs above were submitted as Mystery Photos.
Part of the "Mystery" has been solved by Larry
Wilson who has identified two of the men in the photograph as brothers
of his grandfather. The men (standing 6th and 7th from left) are
Dote and Ebonezer "Ebb" Wilson. The photos below show Dote and Ebb

According to Larry, "My WILSON ancestors lived in Barry
and Stone Counties. Two of my grandfather's brothers were miners.
One lived in Barry County his entire life. He was Ebonezer "Ebb"
Wilson (pictured above) . He committed suicide at the home of his
parents in 1912 while suffering from tuberculosis contracted from working
in the mine. Pictured below is Dote Wilson. The photos on the right were
taken from the group miner picture above.
