    They have the whole "we tough" look going on. It's another tintype, probably circa 1870-1880 based on the clothes. Beyond that...dunno.

    Indeed:

    1885
    On way to Cotton
    Centennial at NO

    Nice work finding the story, ineed!
    Sorry, Virdendale, we blowed up the picture -- blowed it up real good! -- and there are no details to be discerned on front-left's ribbon beyond the circle and stripe you can see in normal view.
