Beloved Sisters and Friends !

 We make this appeal to you in all sincerity, after most serious thought on storing away grain while it is within our reach.  We wish is where possible the subject might be agitated in private until every Mother and Daughter should feel the necessity of immediate action.

Unknown Photo with Hair Sample ~ 1876

This photo came with the Johanna Madsen Hafen Collection.  It is tintype in an embossed copper fram and enclosed in a wooden case.  When I scanned it the first time, the photo was to dark due to the copper reflection.  So, I carefully removed it from the case and found a lock of hair inside.  What a treasure.  However, it might take a DNA test to figure out who this man might be.  Anyone have the answer?  Also the date 1876 was written on the inside along with the initials J.C.
