Vaclav (Wencil) K. Dvorak, (my great grandfather), his son William
Wencil K. DVORAK, my paternal great grandfather, his son (My grandfather) William Joseph DVORAK, and some other unknown men on a street with construction tools, pick axes, shovels, and the like. Dating the photo postcard was pretty simple. I found a guide online about figuring dates of picture postcards, and based on the markings of the area where you put the stamp on the back, this postcard is dated between 1904-1925. It's one of those old AZO photograph postcards. If anybody has these, I can help date them if you would like.
I'm trying to identify who the other men with my grandfather are. Grandfather, William Joseph Dvorak is the second man from the left...
Date & Place:
at Muscoda in Muscoda Grant County, Wisconsin United States
The age of my grandpa in this photo is 18. So that makes the date of the photo 1911/1912....depending on what part of the year it is..Grandpa being born on Sept 28, 1893.
This might not be Muscoda after all. One said it could be Highland, Grant County, Wisconsin. I still don't know where it is. If anybody viewing this has any clue where it might be, please let me know. THANKS
