Here again is another photo from the Henry Conner collection. I am guessing that these pictures among others you have and will see were shot by my aunt Bertha or Jimmy Conner. I think this is this Sell Bros Circus. The performers names are unknown to me.

I am almost certain that this is the Russell Bros Circus. Al, Bertha and Jimmy Conner were with this show at the time this photo was taken.

Christy Bros

I believe this is the Christy Bros Circus? The lady with the horse is unknown to me. My Aunt Bertha and Uncle Al Conner were with this circus for a season or two. Perhaps that is why this  photo is in the Henry Conner collection.

This is Bertha my aunt on the shoulders of someone I do not recognize. The other person to the left resembles uncle Al. It is hard to tell in some of these old pictures.

Henry Bros Big Show

Gip stands in backyard while the show is being set up for the afternoon performance. My grandfather had several names for his circus, why I really don’t know. Henry Bros Circus, Henry Bros Big Show and Henry Bros Great Circus and Henry’s Great Show. There  may have been more?
