A young witness to the hanging

This photo is (reportedly) of Oscar Lackey (1878-1946) who as a young lad only a week from his 7th birthday was urging his uncle Al Lackey to jump as the wagon was moved from underneath him.

My grandma Nina Lackey and my mom always spoke of Uncle Oscar as being a nice man. He died the year before I was born. I would like to have met him.
