Aerialists #5

Also seen in the 1908 B&B picture with this sad notation:

"Charlie Silbon, Eddie's nephew.
Was killed seven years ago doing triple to the net."

That's Col. C.G. Sturtevant's handwriting at the bottom. Your dad got a lot from him, Buckles, did he not? Bob Kitto will remember the name but probably not many others (except Ole Whitey though it is still before his time, Bob Good and any serious historian of the circus).
