  1. I assume that the Clemens family in the mural would be the family of Samuel Clemens, AKA Mark Twain.

    • Konni,

      I was unaware of this. Thanks for letting me know. I’ve become more found of this mural the more I lear about it. It’s one of the murals a company here in Chicago restored.

      Thanks for the comment,
