John Pleasant Bailey and brother Zachariah T Bailey
John P seated and brother Zach pose for a photo. They are
dressed oddly and seem to be clowning for the camera. Zach chomps on a cigar. My
sister Margaret says he is not pleasant looking despite his name being
Pleasant. I did not tell her that John and his brother were dieing of
tuberculosis and probably knew it. John died at age 37 and Zach died at age 21,
both not long after this picture was taken.
