This photograph is four of the five surviving sons of Amos & Elizabeth Foy. The person in the front/right is E. Dudley Foy and the others are not identified. Assuming the boys are standing in birth order the following is a guess as to the identity of the other persons. Back/left would be James Madison Foy (1842-1897), back/right would be Joseph Sidney Foy (1849-1914), front/left would be Augustus Foy (1854-1928) and front/right is E. Dudley Foy (1860-1930). I believe Augustus is correctly identified as he and Dudley both appear to be younger than the other two people. I don't believe that the person in the back/left is Henry (1851-1934) based on other photographs we have of him (Henry most closely resembles the person in the back/left position. Back/right is definitely not Henry). Can any descendants of these people help with positive identification?
