Answer 1

Glen, thank you for sharing this amazing picture of Timothy Street. This is a nice, clear picture of him, especially if you took a copy from a tin-type.

I love how detailed it is. I can even see his tie clasp (probably not what it was called in 1840).

Timothy looks very weary in this picture. I see double eye-bags under his eyes. But you can tell that he kept himself very clean. His beard is trimmed straight across. He made sure that it was very even.

And it appears that he either had green or blue eyes. My guess is on the blue.

Very, very nice picture.

Thanks so much for sharing with the family, Glen.

God bless and have a wonderful day!
