Studio Portrait of Earl Etonia Carson in later years
Studio portrait of Earl Etonia Carson, brother of Arlie Aaron Carson Sr., uncle to Arlie Jr., Alfred Boatman and James Franklin Carson. There is no date on the photo but it appears to be taken toward the end of his battle with TB. Compare to photos from the 1920s. In this photo, while well-dressed and groomed, Earl is thinner and his hairline had receded. He died June of 1934.
