Friday's Photo: Johnnie Martin and John Kirk (maybe Kirkpatrick?)

Johnnie Martin is John Joseph Martin of Bienville Parish, Louisiana. He is the son of Laura Frances Bryan and Thomas Jefferson Martin. You can see much more about him by clicking here. 

I suspect that John Kirk is actually John W. Kirkpatrick born in 1870. Can anyone verify this? 

The young men were about the same age as Johnnie Martin was born in 1869. Both boys spent their youth in the same area of Bienville Parish. It appears Johnnie and John are in their late teens or very early twenties in this photo which would give it a date of about 1890.
