Zobjeck Mystery Photos

From descendants of Hugo and Mary (Kucaba) Zobjeck, we have received digital images of three photographs that are largely a mystery. The originals, I'm told, are about 5" x 7" on heavy black cardstock without photographer identification.

The first is the only one we know anything about. We know that the man second from the right is Hugo Zobjeck, Sr.

We also know (thanks to a local vintage-car expert) that the vehicle is a "high wheel pick up truck, circa 1909," likely made by International Harvester although some other companies produced similar vehicles.

These fellows seem to be ready for a parade, perhaps on Independence Day, with all those flags and bunting. I don't see anything in the background to help us place this photo.


We know absolutely nothing about this next photo.



I will only say that the man in the black bowtie, in front, looks like the man standing second from the left (dark shirt) in the first photo.


The people in this last photo are too far away to be identified. The setting looks reasonably like Lake George, of course, but with no helpful smokestacks, bridges, or buildings in the background, I'm not going to jump to that conclusion.
