This photo is said to be of John Clark Holcomb & his second wife, Mary Francis (Simpson). I would welcome any opinions as to whether this is the same man as the one in the other photo on this memorial, that is THOUGHT TO BE JOHN CLARK HOLCOMB & OCTAVIA E. (GILBERT). (Contact me via EDIT to this memorial.)

This photo was scanned from a tintype that was in the posession of Cordelia Sylvania (Holcomb) Powell at the time of her death. IT WAS NOT LABELED IN ANY WAY. My mother-in-law, Edna Coreen (Powell) Jones, loaned it to me to copy. I studied it thoroughly, & decided that it MIGHT BE a wedding photo of Cordelia's parents. I labeled it "Thought to be Octavia E. (Gilbert) & John Clark Holcomb wedding photo." After returning the photo to Mrs. Jones, she later gave it to one of her cousins. Soon thereafter, this photo was widely circulated on the Internet as being, "Octavia E.(Gilbert) & John Clark Holcomb Wedding Photo." THIS IS SIMPLY NOT NECESSARILY SO!!! It could be her sister or a friend & husband. Nobody knows, unless a similar photo shows up, with an original label.
