John Ruedger and Norman Gilmore

"Thought I'd post one of John Ruedger--the son of John F Ruedger, the Civil War veteran. Young John was only 6 when his father died, and he was raised by the Blesch family and his oldest brother, Reynold. He went to Valparaiso College, and this is a photo from then. Anyone know if the other chap was from Roberts?"
