NOTES

The main reason I believe this to be the James W. born in 1826 is that it does not appear to be a photograph of an actual person
but rather a photograph of a painting due to a lack of fine detail you would see in a photograph of a person. Also the area around
the photograph is faded to white probably to hide the frame or edges of the original painting. My guess would be that when the
above James died in 1890 that someone had the painting and another person wanted to have a copy for rememberance sake.
