I am so excited about this! I don’t usually post more than one post at a time, but this…wow.
Bluford Napoleon Richards, my great-grandmother Minnie Virginia Richard’s brother, was the only one of the siblings (with the exception of little George Washington Richards who died just under two years of age) that didn’t seem to have any pictures. Well, I found one! Kind of. It’s a drawing from a newspaper, but it’s more than what I had before!
It’s from and advertisement for Patterson’s Tuxedo Tobacco by The American Tobacco Company. I found the advert in the August 4, 1916 issue of New Orleans States, New Orleans, Louisiana.

This thrills me so much, that I just had to share!
