This is one of thousands of historical photographs available at Shorpy: The 100-Year Old Photo Blog. Although the man is not identified by name, the caption gives Independence, Kansas as his home. Is there anyone who can identify this face from the past? Please let us know if you can put a name to the face. The caption is copied directly from Shorpy.

Hello:
ReplyDeleteI live in Independence, Kansas. Although I don't know the person pictured here, you might consider writing the Independence Daily Reporter paper and asking if they would publish this photo. I am sure they would as they are very helpful in cooperating for things of a local history nature.
