Caption by Anne Eby Millar: "Gordon visited Uncle Isaac (another son of Isaac Eby) on Nov. 1st in New Hamburg. Uncle Isaac was a "Tunkert" and would not have his picture taken, but one day when he visited them Gordon took his picture without his knowledge. In 1914 Uncle Isaac's health was failing. He died in February, 1915."
"Tunkert" is possibly Tunker (Brethren in Christ) or Dunkard/Tunkard (Church of the Brethren). Isaac Eby had a Mennonite funeral and was buried at the First Mennonite cemetery, Berlin.
