The photographer's notes indicate that the first name of the young man in this image was Kenneth. Kenneth Loemker was The Reverend Loemker's third oldest son. Kenneth is carefully dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and dark tie, shiny dark shoes, and top hat, and is pictured standing next to a two seater automobile, probably a Ford. One of his feet is resting on the running board. The license plate reads in part “7-19… IA 25. The automobile appears to be parked in a yard just in front of a fenced in cemetery. Several grave stones are visible behind the automobile.
