COMMENTS: I have a photo of Joseph Davenport taken in Yokohama Japan. It does not have any dates on it. I also have photos of uncle Joe Davenport. Any info from the back has been lost due to the photo being cut for framing, and uncle William Davenport, taken by H. H. Frye 6½ Mill Street, Grass Valley, Cal. As for which uncles , I don't know I presume it could be Sarah or Leorra.
