I am almost certain that this is the Russell Bros Circus. Al, Bertha and Jimmy Conner were with this show at the time this photo was taken.

This is Bertha my aunt on the shoulders of someone I do not recognize. The other person to the left resembles uncle Al. It is hard to tell in some of these old pictures.

Gip stands in backyard while the show is being set up for the afternoon performance. My grandfather had several names for his circus, why I really don’t know. Henry Bros Circus, Henry Bros Big Show and Henry Bros Great Circus and Henry’s Great Show. There may have been more?

This photo was in with the Henry- Conners photos that were sent to me by Mike Conner. There was no info with this photo. It does look like my uncle Al standing on the bar, he did do many acts in his younger years, however I am not sure.
Wagon Wheel Act

Uncle Al Conner performing his wagon wheel act. May have been one of the Henry Bros outdoor shows. It is obvious that they were playing at a baseball park, in the background is a score broad.
