Unknown Messenger Boy (Waco TX 1913)

view map

NOTE: This could be Walter Boyett, the older brother of Isaac Boyett, but not confirmed.
The person in the photo was not identified but was contained in the same LOT and Volume as the other two photos from Waco, TX. Three differences are that they were taken 1-2 months apart, they cite two different messenger services (both operating in the red light district of Waco), and his older brother would have been 18 in 1913. Although the young man in the photo appears to be older than 15 and smoking a pipe.

TITLE: Messenger boy working for Mackay Telegraph Company. Said fifteen years old. Exposed to Red Light dangers. Location: Waco, Texas.
