The earliest known picture of Cliff, this photo was taken about 1930 after hunting in Calhoun County, Illinois. He would have been about 20-years-old at the time.
The gun Cliff is holding is his 1924 Model 12 Winchester 12-gauge shotgun. This is the same gun that he grabbed and fired into the air as a call for help the night the Arnolds' Batchtown home burned down in 1938.
After Cliff passed away, the gun was inherited by one of his sons-in-law. According to a grandson, JFH, the gun had a 1924 hunting license with it at that time.
