hmmm....so which one is he?  it doesn't say.
I hate this part:
I bet none of his brothers claimed him because of the stigma of epilepsy.  |
There is another entry in Find a Grave for his father which has the same photo but that one says that Luther is the only brother not in the picture. The father of the clan, Joseph Milton Kennett was a Methodist Minister.
There are names on the back of the photo: L to R Back: Frank, Marvin, Joe and in front John, Joseph Milton (his father) and William.
Another sad story is that John, brother of Luther and the others, died at the Walla Walla, (Washington) County Farm ( prison/poor farm) in 1932. You wonder if he had the same problem as his brother. That facility also had a tubercular ward.
