Now this photo has honestly puzzled me, that being the source of the photo itself. Brushy said that he ran away from his father at some point, I’m unsure how old he was when he ran away but this photo of him when he was 14. According to Brushy it was roughly around this period in his childhood when he was bouncing from one place to another which in my opinion would make it quite difficult to capture a photo of himself and keep it with him. It honestly puzzles me, how did we discover this photograph and how is it that this photo come to our public attention?  |

About ten years ago on another message board (long since taken down), I had a discussion about this photo with a board member who insisted the photo was cropped. He said it was part of what was a group photo of the Clements family. He insisted he had seen the whole photo in a book and was positive this was a member of the Clements family and that it could not be Brushy. I asked to see the original photo and he said he didn't have a copy. Needless to say, he never produced it. Besides "I" believe this "is" 14 year old Brushy. I don't know if Brushy produced it having saved it for 75 years or what. A very, very good question. Maybe someone else has some info?

No, those are all alleged photos of Brushy/Billy. He was insisting the picture in question was clipped from a group picture showing member of the Clements family. Not a group "of" pictures but a single picture showing a group of people.
