Lyle, Rex and Tom in 1909 -- (Not So) Wordless Wednesday #891

  This is one of the priceless (to me) images in my computer file folders:

This is a photograph from 1909, when my 18-year-old maternal grandfather, Lyle Lawrence Carringer (1891-1976) attended San Diego High School.  He finally graduated in 1914, I think.  He worked part-time at Marston's all through high school.

He is posing in front of the Carringer home at 2105 30th Street with his dog, Rex.  To Lyle's left, on the ground, is his cat Tom.  Helpfully, Lyle labeled the photograph!  

Note that there appear to be electric lines coming out of the ground in back and to the right side of Lyle that go up to the second floor.  At this time, I think that Lyle slept on the second floor porch in good weather, and in the upstairs bedroom other times, probably with Rex and Tom!

 San Diego High School is also my mother's alma mater (class of 1936) and my own (class of 1961).

I colorized a sepia color photograph using the MyHeritage photo tools. 

This photograph is a part of my family history.
