Unidentified Gaunt Family

[Gaunt Family]

Tentative identifications: Left to right -- Earl Moore Gaunt (1909-1926), John Franklin "Frank" Gaunt (1866-1924), Mary Angeline "Angie" Gaunt Neff (1857-1946), Fannie Moore Gaunt (1873-1926), Ray Bond Gaunt (1895-1966).

Ray Gaunt invented the Gaunt Grain Shocker, a machine that shocked grain from the binder. His invention was literally stolen from him by Chicago corporate interests. This provided the motivation for him to become an attorney, being admitted to the bar in October 1923.
