Lundy would have been about 19 at this time. According to a letter we received many years ago from Lundy's widow, Mary Bishir, Lundy's uncle is also in the photo. She thought his name might be "Bill" but she wasn't sure. Lundy's brother, William, would have been only six years old when this photo was taken and Lundy's great-uncle Bill Bishir would have been in his 60s by this time. The only Bishir uncle Lundy had was Albert Burton Bishir. Burt would have been 34 in 1906. He was a cooper in Kentucky in 1910. Maybe Lundy went to work for him when he was out of school. Based on the strong facial resemblance, Burt is probably the man to the right of Lundy. |

| Notes |
- Lundy was a cooper as a young man (in Cynthiana, Kentucky?). He came to California prior to WW I and washed windows in Los Angeles. Because he was married when WW I broke out, he never served. Later he went to work for Portland (OR) Cordage (Rope) Co. He developed the weave for nylon cords for venetian blinds. He was transferred about 1932 to San Francisco. He bought a ranch in Ridgefield in the South East corner of Washington state about 1938. Mary moved there and ran the ranch and worked in the Vancouver shipyards during WW II.
Research: 1900 census gives Lundy's birthyear as 1888. He appears in Portland, OR in 1910.
