John B. Capewell of Westville, NJ is back with a couple of the lads loafing in a wooded area this time. John in the middle is a blur of motion as he triggers his camera’s shutter with a string. The other lads have managed to stay still long enough to make a decent exposure.

The gentleman on the right has a sack of Ben-Hur Scrap which I am assuming is chewing tobacco. It looks like he has a pinch between his cheek and gum.

This looks to be the same odd fellow who was brandishing a small pistol in a photo I posted earlier. I’m wondering if he got the chew from Adolph Tumser who was a tobacconist.

Here is the whole 5×7 glass negative:

In other news…

Harry Chambers over at Facebook’s I Grew Up in Westville, NJ page was good enough to do the research and provide me with the dates of birth and death of John Capewell’s parents, bothers and sisters.

I’m not sure who is who out side of the parents stacked on the left and John and his youngest sister stacked on the right. An educated guess could be made as to who’s who, but here’s the info from Mr. Chambers. Again, these photos are not in order to the list below:

Mark Anthony Capewell 1850 – 1912

Mark Capewell 1874 – 1874

William Henry (Harry) Capewell 1875 – 1906

John Batt Capewell 1878 – 1951

James George Capewell 1880 – 1960

Mark Anthony Jr. Capewell 1883 – 1967

Whillie Batt 1857 – 1936

Margaret (Peggy) May Capewell 1887 – 1950

Caroline (Carrie) Harrison Capewell 1889 – 1919

Frances Matilda Capewell 1892 – 1970

Edna Lavinia (Honey) Capewell 1896 -1975

Thanks, Harry!
