It runs in the family -- Striking Poses


My Great-Grandfather, Cornelius Johannes Block I, around 1928. He's posing outside the restaurant he and my Great-Grandmother, Ann, owned in Camden, NJ. They were new immigrants to the United States. He was from Holland and she was from England.

Do you know the name of the restaurant? My Mom grew up in Camden and I wonder if she knew it?

You've got to get another dog or kid just so you can name someone "Cornelius" or "Johannes"

Cool as shit names!

I'm not sure of the name of the place; I will have to ask my mom if she remembers.

Toni, we're up to Cornelious IV now, I think...that name is still going!

It's chill to be from Holland, as evidenced by this pose.
