There are lots and lots of photos of unidentified people in the boxes from my uncle's estate. Luckily this one is labeled and will help me to identify so many others.
Here is the photo:
Notice that it's labeled "Wm C Purdy" in the lower left corner. So this is William Collins Purdy II.
The date of the photo is unknown but likely to be around 1890 when he was about 63. This date is just an estimate and bears more research and comparison with other photos I have of him.
You may notice a slight difference between the right eye and the left eye. I have seen this feature in other pictures that I now know are of William Collins Purdy. I wonder what caused the difference?
More soon.
