It has been a while... but we are still here and finding more out about our beautiful county all the time. If you have ever been in our Heritage Library, you may have seen a painting on the wall of Captain Readic Comer, a Warrensburg resident who was once a Buffalo Soldier.
We have also mentioned that Ben Pierce donated a huge collection of large format negatives from the Simmons Studio (also Burr and other photographers in the space). Some are glass, some film. We sorted them and recently found out from our friend Peggy Nuckles that we can simply photograph the negative with our phone, turn it into a positive and there you have it.
Well, here is Captain Comer, in the time between his service in the WWI era and the distinguished portrait that hangs in the library.
A very exciting find. Thanks for your service, sir!

ReplyDeleteThis is great, thanks for posting. From Capt. Readic Comer's great grandson Nic Briscoe I have put some other pictures up from the family. Readic Comer on my little history blog. I know that you know it is Readic not Roderick Comer. Thanks Ben Pierce and JOCOMO History!
