O is for One Old Photo.
This is a photo of my grandfather (center behind bar) and his two
brothers at the saloon they owned in the late 1800s or early 1900s.
It was The Chrietzberg Brothers Saloon in Quitman, Texas.
I just wish the family still had that mirror or something.
This picture clicks nicely.
ABC Wednesday is hosted by
Mrs. Nesbitt at her place.

You are right Sharon, I do like this old photo. Glad you came by and left a comment.
Seems to have been a lively (and dangerous?) place!
This is just a fantastic photo.
Oh, Sharon, I knew we were kindred spirits. My father-in-law had a speakeasy in San Francisco.
Awesome old picture.
Great shot. There is a lot of history in that photograph. I will study it some more.
How are things in Lake Fork Country?
Martha and I live in Ft. Worth now, but Martha is from Greenville and I am from Powderly (near Paris).

I love looking at old photos so thanks for sharing. Glad to see you scanned this in so you'll have a backup copy. I've done the same with my family's old photos.
Old things...are great reminder of the past, be it sweet or sorrow. thanks for sharing.
I love the historical stuff.
That is a really AWESOME photo! Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day! If you want to play along I tagged you on my blog.
I love old photos, too. Funny you said you would like to have that great old mirror. We were just chatting about how fun it would be to have the old Butterine sign from the store. Wonder what happened to all those old things?
Thanks for stopping by my place. I enjoyed your comment.
