[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 41041, member: 33"]He was born in 1886, so would have been only about 43 in 1929, and so is not the person in the photo. A Horace Winston Stokes is listed in a section of the Yale catalogue of graduates as "Bachelor of Arts, 1909." [URL]https://books.google.com/books?id=RGkNAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA255&lpg=PA255&dq=horace+winston+stokes&source=bl&ots=st1lE06txL&sig=7zR5XLBJ41tKbyxzr-u1Z-puMC8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=tU_WVNjnBYqXyATDioGICQ&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAzgK#v=onepage&q=horace%20winston%20stokes&f=false[/URL] And the writer/editor Stokes was from New York City, it appears. I do see a different Yale catalogue that lists an address for him in New York City: [URL]https://books.google.com/books?id=dDAXAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA646&lpg=PA646&dq=horace+winston+stokes&source=bl&ots=e_FJx9e1zV&sig=ows_bFPInjEqW3d8kIXjCBcgzOI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=tU_WVNjnBYqXyATDioGICQ&ved=0CCsQ6AEwBTgK#v=onepage&q=horace%20winston%20stokes&f=false[/URL] Here is a listing for him from the Marquis Who's Who: HORACE WINSTON STOKES Occupation: publisher Born: New York, New York, Mar. 2, 1886 Died Jan. 18, 1950. Son of Frederick Abbot and Ellen Rebecca (Colby) S.; prep. edn. Phillips Acad., Andover, Mass., 1904-05; A.B., Yale, 1909; married Mary Sanford Wheeler, May 22, 1920; children—Ellen, Mary Wheeler.
