Yamada Kikan (also Norichika)
The Wikipedia site shows he served as a Commander at Takasaki Regimental District
from 1907 - 1910 (as of March 5, 2014). Previously I gave a wrong date.

Thanks for sharing your old family photos! I love looking at these kinds of pictures. If only they could "talk"!
Kristie,
I'm glad you enjoy looking at old photos. The first photo was taken in 1899 when he was 36. Because of my recent discoveries and these photos which were sent to me attached to email, I learned that the family lived in Takasaki for a long time. But a strange thing is none of them had local accent. Of course, I've never met my great grandfather, but if he had a local dialect, his children wouldn't talk in the standard Japanese.
