Art Taute and Brothers
The man seated is Arthur R. Taute, son of Augustus Taute and Clarissa Viles. He was born on 14 February 1880 in Paton, Greene, Iowa and died on 27 December 1927 in Tolley, Renville, North Dakota. I would like to know who these other gentlemen are. Presumably a couple of his brothers. The man on the left looks younger to me. Perhaps it is Ralph Taute b. 10 Apr 1887. The other three possiblities are George b. Dec 1869. Lemuel b. 10 Apr 1873 or the most likely, John Henry (Jack) b. 8 Jul 1876. George moved to Oklahoma and Lem moved to Minnesota. Ralph and Jack spent time in both North Dakota and Iowa.This is a photo of Art and Alfred Taute b. 1875 d. 1906.
