Frances "Frank" M. Connell of North McGregor Iowa has just returned
from enlistment, US Army WW One. Germany formally surrendered
months earlier. Photo of course taken (July 26th, 1919) on the
front porch of his parent's home, in what we now know as Marquette,
name changed the following year, 1920. His mother & father are
still living in the house. Frank would be 32 year of age, single
yet.
North McGregor had been re-built after the flood of
1916, the railroad, sawmills & steamboats were running hard. The
only other person Tim was able to identity is the little mop-haired
kid in the bottom center. CJ Mason II, age 2 1/2 (Tim's father). He
had recently lost his father, C.J. Mason, age, also 32. He was
killed two months earlier in Mason City, Iowa.
