These two photos were given to me. Thet were taken by C. Beerntsen in 1914 on the Al G. Barnes Circus. I am not real familiar with this gentleman's work but I believe he was from Wisconsin.

The following photos of Mabel Stark are found in my uncle's scrap books. I can find no mention of a photographer. Mabel Stark and the year are written in pencil on the back. These would have been on the Al G. Barnes Circus
