A little more digging on this.... The town patriarch of Cotati was a man named Dr. Thomas Stokes Page (1815-1872). He had 13 children, seven boys. In his will, Dr. Page stipulated his ranch could not be subdivided until his youngest son, William Delano (born 1867) was 25 years old. When William turned 25 the Rancho Cotate was subdivided into parcels to establish the town of Cotati in 1893.

Looking at Dr. Page's image and your photo side-by-side might help but I think the catcher bears a possible family resemblance. William Delano Page would have been 25 to 32 years old in the time frame (1893-1900). The next youngest male in the Page family, George Thomas Page would have been about 35 to 42. Awesome photo, well worth adding to any collection.

Dr. Page's story is pretty amazing....
