3. James Byron Hirschy

   James Byron Hirschy - This photo shows two men standing under a tree in someone's yard. They have been identified in the border under the photo as James Byron and William Hirschy. James Byron is William's son. He was born in 1914 and appears to be 18 - 20 years old so I'm dating the photo in that way. Both men are wearing 3 piece suits and are standing under a tree in front of a wire fence. A wire gate can be seen behind William's left elbow...

4. Mathilda & William Hirschy - 1916

   Mathilda & William Hirschy - William and Mathilda (Lehman) Hirschy were married in 1916. This might be their engagement or wedding picture because they are obviously so young.

There is a round brooch at her throat that has a white set in the center and is surroun...

A clapboard sided house can be seen behind them. Agnes is wearing a light colored, summer weight dress with a tiny floral print and short sleeves. It looks li...

7. William Hirschy

   William Hirschy - This is a photo of William as a young man. He looks like he's 18 to 20 years old, so I dated it between 1906 - 1908. He is shown wearing a striped suit and bow tie with a high wing collar. The photo has been mounted in a multi-layered, brown, cardboard photographer's mat. A brown ribbon has been tied in a bow at the top and holds the two separate pieces together. A gold label underneath the photo says, "Shalley Berne, IND".

His hair is longer than is seen in 2019.004.91, which was his military photo. Here, his hair is long enough to brush up and back off his forehead and thick enough to produce a bit of a pouf. He is wearing a dark suit and white shirt with a light colored, striped tie. He is sporti...

    William Hirschy in WW I - This is a photo of William Hirschy wearing his World War I uniform. It's the typical wool uniform with the stand up collar and patch pockets.

His hair is cut very short on the sides, almost shaved, then parted on the side and the top combed over. The photo has been made into a postcard t...
