i think that this was a fishing club in Ohio. on the back it says J.W. Oppie. the photo itself measures 15" x 10". Can anyone read the names under it? i just found this in my warehouse. i'm sure i bought it for the frame, but have no memory of having seen the photo before.

Interestingly, the only William Duringer in Ohio around that time lived in Carroll County a few miles away from the Buckeye Fishing Club. The plot thickens as they say.
