Columbus, Ohio, circa 1910. "State Capitol and McKinley monument." And birdhouses. 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size. For the birdsAs someone who sets up half a dozen nesting boxes for tree swallows each spring I was delighted to see the birdboxes. Hopefully efforts were made at the time to discourage invasive house sparrows from occupying them, their having been declared a major pest. Already too late for North America as they had already proven to be non-eradicable as early as 1910 and have contributed significantly to a serious decline in our native cavity nesting songbird population since. Did bike locks exist back then?I wish we could leave our bikes at the curb today. (The Gallery, Bicycles, DPC)

My grandmother Elizabeth is standing in the front row between her mother, Augusta and her father, William. As I was told by my grandmother, this professional photograph was taken of the family because Augusta, at age 36, had to have all of her teeth removed. In those days, there were cases of persons dying from having their teeth extracted. Columbus, Ohio 1895. View full size (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

American soldiers during World War II are placing a wreath on a grave that has a US helmet hanging from it, with the words, Egalite, Fraternite, painted on it, and _57th Inf. and what looked like a divisional emblem. After looking at the photo with my jeweler's Loupe I was able to make out that the divisional emblem on the helmet was that of the 90th Infantry Division - the _57th Inf. on the helmet is probably the 357th Infantry, which was part of the 90th Division during World War II. I was also able to make out the name on the grave: John Schila Deming, and the words "Soldat Estranger" and the date 1917. After doing a little research online, I found the grave - John Schila Deming was born on March 24, 1884 in Columbus, Ohio. He joined the French Foreign Legion after having previously served for a brief time in the Canadian Army. He was killed in June 22, 1917, and is buried in the French Military Cemetery at Cormicy. According to the Cormicy website, he was killed at Vaux Varennes (if I was reading the translation of the French website correctly). View full size. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)
