Vintage Cabinet Card : My Great, Great Grandpa "Tip" ca.1890

            Great, Great Grandpa "Tip" as a middle aged man.
(1840-1914)
Lived his whole life in Cass County, Michigan.
He and several other farmers from Cass were allowed to hire someone to fight for them in the Civil War. I have the signed document that they submitted.

Written on back:
"W. Henry Harrison (After the President of the U.S.) Hain"
Uncle "Tip" and Tyler too

Photographer Stamp on front:
Theo. Cook
Dowagiac (Michigan)

=======================================================
So I was the grandson who said: "Sure, I'll take all the old family photos" and suddenly found myself with boxes of albums and old images of relatives long since passed. Fortunately I had enough foresight to quiz all of my oldest relatives before they passed who some of these folks were. This is one of those photos.

I did some small, cosmetic clean-up retouches in photoshop.

Any observations, corrections or comments are most welcome.
