This just doesn't look like an 1899 picture. I am not saying that it isn't. I am just saying that he looks like a County Western Singer from today, with his hat and fancy suit. He has some gorgeous eyes, and that hat is sitting rakishly on his head, just the way they are worn today.
This is a beautiful picture, and you have already said that you are proud of the corner piece of the cabin that you have. You should also be very proud of this picture. It is a treasure.
Thank you for sharing it with your WikiTree family.
God Bless!
