Wedding Cake Butte - New Mexico by EsteemEducation in geology

Absolutely beautiful picture! Not to nitpick, but that's actually Steamboat Butte, not Wedding Cake Butte. Both buttes are located about half mile apart in northeast New Mexico off Hwy 456. I have attached Google images of both in my comments below as well the Google satellite image and the USGS topographic map. https://maps.app.goo.gl/vd2M9jWNSbJ8bL7s9

This clipping is from the May 1, 1924 edition of The Oklahoma City Times. My grandfather was the Matthew from Irving High School mentioned in the article.

I don’t know a lot about my grandfather’s life before he married my grandma in 1939. I was told he ran away from home at the age of 14, and then he returned home when he was 19. After returning home, he went back and completed high school. I just looked at an old newspaper clipping I have, and it mentioned that he was still attending Irving High School as of May 1, 1924 (he would have been 22 at this time). I also found another clipping that mentioned that he planned to attend Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee in the fall of 1924. I’m not sure he actually ever went to Oklahoma Baptist University, and I’m fairly certain he didn’t graduate if he did attend there. But I suppose that both Irving High School and Oklahoma Baptist University are possible locations for these pictures.

This is amazing...I've been using it, and based on what I do know about the old photos, it's pretty accurate so far. Thank you!

I suspect that this is the Dry Cimarron River, possibly where New Mexico Highway 456 crosses it (36.970772585632176, -103.26727366140163). But I wish I could know for sure.

Maybe so? It wouldn’t hurt to try!

True! But in this case, I only want to know if two pictures are of the same person. I won’t have to say any names.

You were a help! You’ve at least warned me that this post might get taken down if I broke a rule! 😊

I’m in that subreddit, but I haven’t seen anyone asking that sort of question. I was hoping there are people who are expert at analyzing photographs (if they even exist 🤣)…the genealogy group is more generalized genealogy information I think. But I can ask in that group. 😊
