Ancient Faces ~ the "Monticello Midgets"

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception


One more odd photo from me. This is a picture of Noble George Washington and Mary Winner.  This was purchased at a yard sale in Iowa, it was in a photo album.  The purchaser gave me the album, and I noticed "Monticello Midgets" written on the back of this picture. So I researched, and found out they were quite the celebrities.  Married in Michigan, they toured with some big circuses and did many appearances for store openings.  When Mary died, Noble drown himself in the bath tub, he was so lonely without her.
