This photo was most likely taken sometime between 1910, 1920
and 1930 in West Virginia. I've made this assumption based
upon censuses from those years when my grand uncles, JOHN
THOMAS and LEWIS FRANKLIN BRADFORD, were recorded as workers
on the railroad. The man sitting in the center, I believe
to be their uncle and my great-grand uncle, WILLIAM ALVIA
"AL" MALSON, based on the same censuses and from a 1918 photograph.
This photo was provided by my first cousin once removed, Nancy Lee Bradford Ragan.
