William Eugene Bridenstine (Brother of Hiram Rufus Bridenstine)
The photo was undated, but was taken at the Murphy-Lewis Studio in Osceloa, St. Clair County, Missouri. William appears to be in his twenties. We have estimated the date of the photo as about 1885 when William would have been 25 years old. The photo was in the posession of Val and Carolyn Bridenstine in 2000 and they identified William. The original picture is a 6.50 x 4.25 Oval Portrait. (Abt 1885)
