This is a studio photo taken of Jerome around
1899 to 1903. This may either be a First
Communion or Confirmation photo. Jerome is
standing next to an elaborately carved wooden
lamp stand. Resting on the stand is a brass 
candle holder. He's wearing a dark colored 
jacket and pants with a white shirt and bow
tie. He has some sort of pin on his lapel.
His hair is parted to the side. He has one
hand resting on the wooden stand. He is not
smiling.
