Thursday Evening, Oct 3,1929
So... a slightly different puzzle today. John Fleming Trindle was living in Jefferson City, Missouri when he was married in 1927, so the assumption is this should be him. BUT - John Fleming Trindle was only 22 years old in 1929. Either this is not John Fleming or either his illness or Hoyt's Compound caused him to age a little beyond his years. Or perhaps the ad agency thought he looked a little too young to be effective so they aged him? How would that work if everyone knew him?
John's father is Jesse Thomas. I have not found him in the census for 1930, but he died in Jefferson City in 1947. Might the J.T have been corrupted to J.F?
Does anyone have a picture of John Fleming or Jesse Thomas Trindle for comparison? Was there another J.F. Trindle in Jefferson City?
