These photographs were taken the late 1800s. People
sometimes look stern in old photos. The person being photographed had to sit still for
several minutes (they didn't have flash bulbs yet). The photographer didn't want any
movement, so he would tell the subject NOT to smile. (To see what I mean, try holding a
smile for two minutes.) Anyway, I try to picture Reason with a twinkle in his (what look
like) very blue eyes! Photos taken from the Beer's History of Wood County, Ohio |
