Something from the past

Uncle Al passed away, leaving my dad  the only living sibling from that family. Dad is a young 88, and while spending time with him is harder to do from a distance, I try to talk to him often. His health is good, and his hearing, while not perfect is good and memory- well let's say that is perfect.  I had made several pictures of his family, one when he was a youngster of 2 or 3, the one above. The location is Denver. His dad, my grandpa John was a cigar maker. Dad is the 2nd from the right, than his brother Al, than John and Rudy. The other's are relatives.
This picture was taken on the Smith farm located near Randolph WI. Grandpa John standing by Fanny the horse, Rudy on the horse, Johnny underneath, Edward, Dad holding Anna's hand, and Al with the hat on.
