Gideon and Frank Smith.
Gideon Smith and Frank Smith, both sons of Robert C. Smith. According to source they were victims of pneumonia and in the photo, "there sides are being drained with a hidden tube." I believe they survived the ordeal. From cemetery records, Gideon went on to serve in the Navy during World War I. It seems Frank died at the age of 22 on Feb 3, 1924.
