I think your GGrandfather may have been with Ringling during the same time
period as my grandparents. I'm searching also and have little verified yet,
and no hard evidence, e.g. photos, etc. Has your search turned up any
photos?

> Am looking for information regarding my GGrandfather William Sassaman
(1874-1919). He's been referred to as an advance man for the
R.Br.Barnum/Bailey circus during 1905-1919 and travelled about the eastern
US, also supposedly to Cuba. My father said for many years after Williams
death, the family received comp tickets whenever the cirtcus was in the
Bethlehem Pa area where they lived in the 1920's & 30's.
