 Speculation:
In his Family History, Rex Bonzo recalls that his father and grandfather delivered milk for a living.  Perhaps they and Adam McQuiston were business partners, or perhaps they all worked for the Hazen Dairy in Ellwood City.  

William Herman's brother, George Bonzon,  married Susan Fisher, so perhaps the Fishers pictured above are in-laws.
