(the frame indicates so) in Fresno, California,
in 1910 or 1911. Why it was taken there is not known. There was no known Churin family in the
Fresno area at the time. The George Studio was a favorite studio for Tony to have family photographs taken there.

Uncle John Jerkovich packing clothing to send to Yugoslavia in 1949.  This was a regular occurrence in both Jerkovich households, sending clothing to relatives in Yugoslavia and Australia. 
A relative in Australia has stated that if it were not for the clothing and other things that were sent to them, they would not have made it.  Their father lost a leg in an accident and could not work. 
I should mention though that the Jerkovich households were not the only ones that sent clothing and other useful items to relatives in Yugoslavia; it was a wide-spread occurrence.  There was that burning desire to help their families because they knew they did not have much to live on and anything to make their lives more comfortable would be fulfilling.
