Hi Larry,

These look great.  It's amazing the way you have merged the pictures of
 the twins together to make the one.  For the benefit of the others
 that are cc's on this email, here's a little background on these pictures.
  My mother and I came across these while going through the pictures  that had come from my grandmother Amy's home after she died.  The  pictures of the twins were clearly originally one.  They match together just
 like two puzzle pieces.  They are each large about 10" x 15" or so.
  Their names are written on the back in my grandmother's handwriting.  We  can only think that possibly they were to be framed separately.

Martin Van Buren Crouch, Stephen Douglas Crouch, and Richard Johnson Crouch

This picture was provided by Martin's great-great granddaughter - Cindy Chabolla She got her copy from Martin's granddaughter Devola Moore Haag - Thank you to everybody

The brothers are also pictured in the 1913 Reunion Photograph

From Jonathan Crouch's History we learn:

Richard J. Crouch, a twin brother off Mart’s, was raised in Kentucky. He was always called Dick. He married a Miss Laura Logan, who passed away leaving two daughters. The youngest one Martha, married in Kentucky to R. A. Breckenridge of a very prominent family in Kentucky. He is a successful farmer and lives near Morrisonville, Ill. They have quite a family. Dick visited our home in Ill. in early life. He was a quiet bashful boy and when we were called on the carpet for any mischief we had been caught in, we’d always tell our stories so as to bring Dick into it. My mother would say "You boys needn’t try to bring Richard into this, he doesn’t engage in any such mischief." MY ANGEL MOTHER HAS LONG SINCE GONE TO HER REWARD.

Laura Marie Logan Crouch

Sally Thomas provided this magnificent picture. WOW

 

 

 

This picture is identified as Aunt Helen Crouch and is believed to have been so labeled by Ollie Crouch Moore (daughter of Martin Crouch). That would make this a photograph of Helen Lair Crouch, the second wife of Richard. Thanks so much to Gwinn Hahn for sharing this keepsake.
