Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow


I love unique things – household décor items you won’t find anywhere else, unusual jewelry, one-of-a- kind picture frames, etc.  So it only makes sense that ancestors with a distinctive look particularly pique my interest.  On a recent expedition through my photo collection, I found a few of my kin that must have shared my penchant for distinction.

AlbertSchultz
I love Albert Schultz’s big brush mustache…


Unknown
And the hairdo on this unknown ancestor…


Simon Ratcliff
And Simon Ratcliff’s awesome sideburns…


MarxSeemann
And Marx Seemann’s big wave of hair…


Mabel Dickey
Mabel Dickey’s little top-piece is particularly neat… and not easy to do, I'm guessing.


But my favorite of all of them, is Abial Adams.

This is the most distinctive beard I have ever seen.  Kudos to Abial for not looking like every other man with a beard!
