Facial hair of the Ransom Brothers.
Back row: James (chin goatee) and Benjamin (goatee).
Front row: Elijah (moustache) and Alvorado (goatee).
Circa 1880, click on picture twice to enlarge.
I note that I have the same thing that Alvorado has going on- one side of my beard is turning whiter faster than the other side.
Elijah is my great-great grandfather, 1848-1921.
