Mystery Monday: Framed Bald Man


This picture was found in a frame at Grandma Mary Cary's house. It was taken by Clarke and Watts in Cleveland, Ohio. While the card is in rather sorry shape you can see he is very bald and all of his face. Now, the first one that can accurately name this man wins a prize!

Timeframe: According to my book it says Clarke & Watts operated in Cleveland in 1876 & 1877. Can't narrow it down much more then that.

Sources: Ohio Photographers: 1838-1900; Diane VanSkiver Gagel

Today In History: Today is the wedding anniversary of Oscar Leutz & Clara Newton. They would have been married 101 years today.
