Wilson Taft "W.T." Pierce (1910-1983), on the left, and his brother Cecil Alvy Pierce (1907-1975) pose together in this studio photo from around 1920, judging by the ages they appear to be.
This tugboat backdrop appears in other Pierce photographs as well.
W.T. and Cecil were sons of N.B. "Bonie" Pierce (1880-1964) and Julia L. Moody (1886-1965) of Wilmer, Ala.
Bonie and Julia had nine children, seven of them born before 1920.
Why would the couple choose to have a studio photo made of only two of their children? Perhaps it was a special occasion, such as a baptism.
Do you come from a large family? Did your parents have studio photos made of only some of their children at a time? Why?
