This is a photo of my maternal great-grandfather, Virgil Lee Wright, from a collection of photos that mom has. Someone has written on the backside his name and date of birth - July 6, 1894. He was born in Orestes, Madison County, Indiana.
In those days, infants of both sexes were photographed in what were dresses to aid in toilet training. Wikipedia has a good article on breeching. I'm glad that this photograph was identified, or I'd never figure out who it was.
Virgil was the son of John William and Ellen (King) Wright, the oldest of two sons born to them.
