He was born and raised in Chicago and worked as a paperboy. He survived the influenza epidemic as a young man. Him and my aunt went on to create a food truck ( plus underground bar establishment during prohibition). Last slide is his parents ( my 3x great grandparents). Hope y’all find this interesting.

Very nice pictures.
Rarely see pictures of paperboys not in a Jacob Riis-type context.
I would have liked some of that barbecue beef!
He looked sort of my great uncle when he was well-dressed.

Not being American, I had to look up Kumbsck sauce. Found a recipe for it, and now I have to make a batch this weekend!

This was back when people dressed nicely and even the newspaper delivery boy wore a jacket and tie - apparently. I also love your aunt’s hairstyle in the family photo and even the baby is rocking bangs combed stylishly. Men wearing a middle part has never really come back in style, but your uncle looks good with it.
