George Seward Kennington in his younger years


George Seward Kennington at the time of his mission to the Southern States. The caption on the lower photo says that it was taken after a bout of malaria and when his mother saw how gaunt and thin he looked, she cried. He seems thinner in the upper photo to me...anyone have an idea?

Update, Nov 6: Talked with Dorothy (Mom) this weekend and she remembered the pre-malaria picture to be below (leaning on his hand) and the post-malaria photo to be in the oval frame above where he is so much thinner.

Date unknown, but he seems in his 30's or 40's.
The hair has changed a little, from Missionary times, and his face looks older.
Anyone know more?
