Ginny sent the following description:

"My mother was raised in Rawlins.  Her father, Irvine J. Rendle arrived in Rawlins in 1894 from Ontario, Canada at the age of 17.  His first job was with the J.W. Hugus Co.  Later he and his brother Tom bought the livery stable.  During the "boom times" one of his jobs was to drive a 6 horse stage coach to Saratoga and Encampment.  I am attaching a picture taken in 1899.  Irvine is by the wheel, Mrs. Greenfield on top, and Hi Armstrong and Johnnie Monroe are the drivers.
