I've finally found "the" picture. Years ago (sometime in the 60's)this picture appeared in a Bay City Times or Saginaw News in an article highlighting George Kid Lavigne induction into Michigan Boxing Hall of Fame. My Great-Grandfather is Joe David, pictured in the ring. My grandfather, Bryan David had the article, but I never knew what happened to it. I've tried a few times over the years to find this, I just purchased Muscle and Mayhem a book by Lauren Chouinard and he has this picture in the book and states it's the only picture of Kid Lavigne in the ring. Finally I had my clue, Chouinard does not identify Joe David in his book, but I was almost certain this was the picture I saw as a child as I remembered with certainty they were standing in the ring.
Joe David died in 1907 when his son, Bryan was only 10 years old. This is the only picture I can ever remember seeing of my Great-Grandfather. Is there any way to obtain a copy????
