The distinguished looking gentleman in the above photograph is a member of the Routsong family. I know this because I found his picture in a cluster of old Routsong photographs that had belonged to my great aunt, Grace Norris Bailey. He definitely has the features of my great great grandfather, Henry Mathias Routsong, so I think he may be a brother of my great grandmother, Elizabeth Routsong Norris. I have sent the picture to several people in the family, hoping to put a name to his face, but so far nobody seems to know. Even so, it is one of my favorite pictures. I love the intensity of his expression and his attitude. Maybe someday, someone will see this pictures and identify him for me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
