Good Evening,
Herbert Loyal Edminster was a “Harness Maker” in 1900 so this picture of him with a strong looking, beautiful horse may be related to his occupation. We really don’t know. Herbert appears to be between 40 and 50 years old at the time this picture was taken, if so we can date it somewhere around 1900-1910, probably in Kansas.

Love this picture! He was the husband of my Great Grand Aunt Laura Stone. Thank you, EthelLynneKern, better known nowadays as Lindy Bates.
Hi Lindy,
Great to hear from you! I love that picture too….. do you by any chance have one of Laura Stone Edminster that I could post? It would be fun to flesh out that side of the family history a bit more. Do you live in Kansas?
