SLAWSON BROTHER'S PICTURE:

The picture of the Slawson Brothers outfit was taken in the fall of 1876. The late Mr. Loton Horton was at the time a foreman and canvasser, having just been promoted. Mr. I.A. Van Bomel remembers well all the faces in the picture and he has prepared the following memorandum relative to each man shown.

Left to right, seated: Orson W. Horton, Charles Cox, I.A. Van Bomel, Charles B.Carpenter, and Emmett Stoddard. The little boy between Emmett Stoddard and Charles R. Carpenter is G.I. Slawson, son of Daniel Slawson, who is now head of the real estate firm of Slawson & Hobbs. Continuing, the next one is John Finch and then Hirman Horton and Sayre J. Slawson.

Left to right, standing, directly behind those seated: Charles Wheat, Decatur Slawson, Samuel J. Tillman and the small boy standing is Horace T. Horton.

Left to right standing third row: Wallace Slawson, Andrew A. Slawson and Loton Horton.

Left to right, standing, last row: Nathan Slawson, John C. Slawson, Daniel S. Slawson, Nathan Slawson was the father of J.C., D.S.,and Andrew, and the grandfather of Loton Horton.

The first on the above list, Orson W. Horton, drove Route No. 12, and he is now living near Horseheads, NY. Mr. Cox drove Route 11 and passed away about 30 years ago Mr. Van Bomel drove Route No. 9 and is still with the Sheffeld organization. Chas. B. Carpenter drove Route No. 8 and passed away 28 years ago. Emmett Stoddard drove Route No. 6 and is still living in New York, being interested in a Mission on lower Eighth Avenue. John Finch drove Route No. 5 and I do not know whether he is alive or his whereabouts, but am under the impression that he has passed along. Mr. Hiram Horton passed away about 20 years ago. He drove Route No. 1.

Mr. S.J. Slawson drove Route No. 10 and is still connected with the Company. Mr. Wheat drove Route No. 3; he is retired and living at Bayside, L.I.
