A blog dedicated to my collection of orphan photographs.
What’s unfortunate with the photograph is that there is no identifying information. But what’s neat about it is the fact that there is a photograph of a woman in the background. Could it be his wife” Perhaps a daughter?
The imprint reads: " “W.P. Hockart, Richland, Iowa.”

Just an idea...have you considered sending copies of your mystery photos to the GenWeb, GenNet, and genie/historical society websites for the counties in which they were photographed?
You just never know...
What a wonderful photograph. I love the photograph on the table and the beautiful expression on his face. What a shame it has no information about who he is.
I have seen photos with an additional photo on a table like that. I would guess that was a wife. I have seen siblings with a photo on a table (in our family collection)and it was of course a deceased sibling.
