George Washington Werner and his niece Jane McShea, Manchester or Shortsville, New York circa 1930

George Washington Werner and his niece Jane McShea, Manchester or Shortsville, New York circa 1930

This photo is believed to be George Washington Werner and a young Jane McShea (the daughter of George's sister, Florence). Their identity is unconfirmed, but likely. They appear to be sitting in the entrance of a shop. George is smoking a cigarette. He would have been the child of Charles Werner and Sarah Jane Werner (née Poole). This photo would likely date to circa 1930. Jane's mother died at a young age in 1940, and the 1940 U.S. Census shows Jane living with her uncle Russell shortly thereafter. SEE ALSO: robb0007 for a group portrait that appears to include these two individuals as well, roughly a year later. Names: Werner, George Washington, 1908-1987; Brickler, Jane (née McShea), 1928-2002
