Handwritten inscription on back of photograph reads, "Lonnie Watson."
This inscription may or may not be an identification. Notes such as this sometimes indicate to whom the photo was given. In other cases, when a customer ordered reprints or enlargements of a picture, the photographer would sometimes write the client's name on the picture in order to return it.
There was an Alonzo H. Watson [1894-1939], son of Jacob Weaver Watson [1867-1941], but he is too young to be this subject. This photograph dates circa the early 1880s, which means the birth of the subject is likely circa 1860s.
