I was just in Utah visiting with dad and we identified this image of his grandparents on their wedding day. How cool is that? I know my dad was thrilled. He--Joseph Smith Gardner--definitely has that Gardner look. I think he may look a little like Jeddy--or is it the other way around?
Joseph Smith Gardner, who I am told was called Jody, died on June 13, 1901 which was his 41st birthday (just a few weeks after my grandfather was born.) I had only seen pictures of him with a beard. Was he really 24 in this image?
