I found this photo posted on the internet in a tree.
I found this photo posted on the internet in a tree. Censuses and this tree say that Andrew H. Foss immigrated in 1893. The one H.A. Foss I found immigrated about 1877, when Andrew would have been about 3 years old.
Are you sure about Andrew's father? If this is the right H.A. Foss, they would have immigrated to the same area about 16 years apart.

Yes, this is true, Donna. Thanks for your help!………Jef
Here is the full photo that Mark found on a historical society site.
Below is a photo from the family records of Andrew. On the back it says "Mac’s Grampa Foss, died 1921”
