We do not know a great deal about this boy except that he was from Perth Amboy, New Jersey. We have a portrait of him doing his First Comminion. It is undated, but looks to us to have been taken about 1905. He wears a knickers suit. Another portrait shows him a few years later, we think for his confirmation. He wears what looks like a lace collar and floppy bow for Norfolk knickers suit with black long stockings.
