These distinguished gentlemen are today's mystery photo. I am slowly working through the huge collection of late 19th Century and early 20th Century photos. After I posted this photo here to my blog, I thought I recognized the man on the left and sure enough, it is my Great Grandfather, Henry Christian Overson. I am guessing that this photo was taken at the time he was serving a mission in England. Anyone want to guess who the two remaining men might be? The photo was possibly a copy of another photograph made by Margaret Godfrey Jarvis Overson, Henry's future wife at the time the photo was taken.

Yep, that's Henry! Perhaps the photo is mentioned in his missionary journal.
