Probably Irving Weiss (a son of Solomon Weiss), David Weiss of Jackson, TN (with suspenders), elderly unknown man (probably a brother of David & Solomon Weiss), David Weiss of NY (a son of Solomon Weiss) It is thought that there were six Weiss brothers and one sister (Rose nee:Weiss Mandel). Five of the brothers emigrated from Galicia (Austro-Hungary) to the USA -- David, Solomon, Samuel, Morris/Moshe Aaron and Bernard. David settled in Tennessee, Solomon in Brooklyn, NY and Samuel & Bernard in New York City. Brother Jacob (Yaakov Yitzchak) stayed in Galicia near what is today the area south of Sanok, Poland, but his children came to America. This photo may have been taken in July, 1930 when Solomon Weiss died in New York. .
