Dieanna and Jim Swearingen sent me the below photo, which came down through the Jessie Brewer Jones and Levy Jones family, hoping for a possible ID. I was unable to make one at the time but I’m now of the opinion it is possibly a photo of Robert Walter Brewer and Edith S. Gilmore. I have an earlier Brewer family photo that is of very poor xerox quality but shows Walter and it looks to be the same person, accounting for a difference in age and hair part.<\/p>\n

Thought the digital file had enough pixels to try for a touch up. Is that a lapel pin? I couldn’t tell so left it there.<\/p>\n

I am basing my identification of Walter by two other photos, one being a 1909\/1910 family photo which shows Walter in the middle bottom row between his parents.<\/p>\n

Robert Walter Brewer, son of David Nathaniel Brewer and Delana L. Jane Fowler, was a brother of my great-grandmother Bettie Brewer Noyes. He was born 1890 Nov 15 in Barton county, Missouri and married Edith S. Gilmore who was born about 1894 in Missouri. <\/p>\n

Walter and his family lived near Oscaloosa, Missouri, when I was growing up. They moved to Joplin sometime during the 1940’s. Walter was a some-time preacher.
