J.E. Henry mounted on his manage horse. Photo taken in the very early 1900’s. You will notice a two pole big top which only allowed for one ring in between the the poles. I am guessing the date of this photo was 1908 or 1910.

This is a photo taken by my grandfather J.E. Henry sometime around 1920 give or take a year. You can see a small mud show menagerie banner line. What I would give to have these banners now. Grandfather in the early years never had a large circus, a family show only. In the later 1920’s […]

Here is another photo that my grandfather took. I’m guessing early 1920’s. Again I was rummaging though old boxes and folders and found this photo with some others. It is without question that the find made my day. The man on the running board is my Uncle Arthur the oldest of the Henry boys.
