Clarence Harney

From the steamer trunk.

This photo is printed on the front of an unused postcard. On the back someone has written "Clarence Harney." Clarence was the son of Fred and Mamie (Harms) Harney, born 1907. With no date on the postcard, I have to estimate his age here — maybe ten years old? That would put us at around 1917.

I believe that's a Boy Scout uniform he's wearing … though if this dates to the patriotic fervor of World War I, perhaps military-style clothing was the fad for boys. His outfit looks quite new and fresh.
