Working on my Heritage Album..This is a LO of my Great Grandfather, Jack O'Shea, circa 1920..I felt it looked best in a "simpler" setting.. Thanks for Looking :)

The journaling tucked behind the top of the photo says:

My Great Grandfather, Jack O'Shea, tending his fields.. a "relocated" Irish Immigrant.. homesteaded in Anglo, PEI, Canada in the Late 1800's... he married Mathilda Hogan and had 9 children, 3 of whom died as infants...much of farming lends to hard work and solitude... time to think of many things..
