Harold:

Super photo and special personal story behind it.

You renew my hope that I may yet find the one photo I once held in my hands of my grandfather, his relatives, and dogs, posing with their guns. One elderly family member, now long-gone, identified it as a Fox hunting picture when I showed it to her. I'll never forget her instantly exclaiming, "They used to Fox hunt up in Dublin".

"Dublin" was a wry nickname for an Irish American enclave on the outer edge of the village of Lanesville, Massachusetts, on Cape Ann, where my ancestors settled. And just beyond it was Cape Ann's granite quarrying territory, a tangle of brush, briar and scattered grout piles, providing I would imagine a fine habitat for Fox denning.

The photo likely exists; maybe I will see it yet again, as you found yours

Great photos guys. I'm fortunate to have lots of old family photos, many with dead critters. My maternal grandmother on left with her three sisters-in-law, Minnesota 1912.
