From early 1900s, most likely: My maternal grandfather, Joseph Polk Crozier. Joe grew up on a small farm in Arkansas. He moved to Los Angeles to seek his fortune around the time this picture was taken. He landed a good job with Railway Express, sort of an early version of Fed Ex, married Julia Osborne, and was a wonderful, loving father to my mother, Margaret, and her little brother, Joe (aka Uncle Bud). Grandpa Crozier died when I was three, but I do have a few memories of him, especially his delightful sense of humor.
