Unidentified man believed to be a member of the Rose familyEntry/Object ID
2019.15.1Description
Also see item # CORW-AN001-0001 in the Ruth (Corwin) Matakovich Collection for a similar pose of the same man. Kathleen (Varner) Teagarden descends from Sebastian Cabot Rose [1860-1926] who was a brother to Ruth (Corwin) Matakovich's grandfather Henry Hudson Rose [1855-1940]. The fact that this man appears in both collections leads us to believe he may be a member of the Rose family.
NOTES ON CAPTION: Handwritten inscription on photo indicates he may be Clarence Tracy Mooney [1890-1926], but as the photo appears to be a young man posing in circa 1885-1890, this identity cannot be correct. This subject was probably born in 1860s.
NOTES ON PHOTOGRAPHER: John P. Blessing & Henry Fenge worked together from 1886-1904, "during part of which time their firm occupied the top three stories of 214 North Charles Street."
