2011.2.587Description
Dated 1887 (written on tree above hand in picture).
The photograph is identified as Benjamin Cosgray [1844-1890] - son of Jeremiah Cosgray and Susannah Kiger. However, there are problems with this identification. The picture is dated 1887, which means Benjamin [1844-1890] would be about 43 years old at the time of the photograph. The man pictured looks much younger. Secondarily, other identified photographs of Benjamin [1844-1890] shared by his family do not match the facial features seen in this picture. This young man may be another family member or the caption may be completely in error. More photo comparisons from the family would be most helpful to determine an accurate identification.
