M.W. Catton (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  There was a William Catton of Chicago who was a billiards champion in the 1900s, 1910s... the cue in his portrait might mean he's that guy, or kin to him?

• Art Siegel said:

  Plus, the photo was taken in Chicago. But if it is Wm. H. Catton ("the Rock Island Wonder")the Bain cataloger got both initials wrong. I found a reference to Marcus Catton, "son of the late Billy Catton, who won renown in foreign billiard academies. Young Catton is counted a comer by the billiard experts who have seen him play, and is expected to make a good record in the league competition". [Story out of Chicago in the Milwaukee Sentinel 12/7/14] news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1368&dat=19141207&... And here's a newspaper account from a few months later, with a photo of the 20 year old Marcus Catton, with a Rock Island, IL pedigree, that seems to be the fellow above: news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1368&dat=19150212&...

  Oh, it is the son then. Age makes more sense too.

• Jon (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks artolog, I think the photo in second newspaper looks like the same man. We will update the title with his full name.

Robert William Holmes and Ernie Ford. TWCMS: 2001.4972

from North East Museums

• Land Rover 61 said:

  Robert Holmes wears the cap badge of the Leicestershire Regiment and his uniform leather belt has the "S" shaped buckle of the 1908 Pattern equipment. Ernie's belt appears to be the 1903 Pattern so he may have joined the Army prior to the outbreak of war or been one of Kitchener's "New Army". Ernie's face looks rather drawn in this image while his friend's still has sparkle; was Ernie home on leave from the Front or recovering from an injury and posed with Robert who had yet see service? A fascinating photograph, one full of questions.
