Andrew Peck

Jay - the REA scan is not nearly as clear as we would like, but from what I can see I think it is very unlikely that these two are the same person.

As to which may be Peck, I surely don't know.

Thanks Mark! From the images on the back of the Peck & Snyder trade cards I think the REA image is more likely the correct one. Mine was probably mislabeled, or perhaps, as was suggested to me, it could be a photo of another member of the Peck family also named Andrew.

Jay,

For what it's worth, I believe this could be an older Andrew Peck. The eyes, nose and ears do look similar, as well as the widows peak in the hair, although he is wearing it in a different style. Further he had no "family" he was an only child whose parents died when he was young and he was raised in the Leake-Watts Orphan home. Also as the letters came from the Hodge family(his wifes family), who he was quite close to, I doubt they misID'd him??

The REA photo does certainly appear to be signed in handwriting, so that undoubtedly most be him as well.

Just some random thoughts to throw in the mix.
