1/6 Daguerreotype Elias Stone - Identified Photographer Gibbs Lynchburg Virginia animals 75" gelatin silver photo onSixth plate c1853 daguerreotype of a man with accompanying note: "Great Grandpa Stone, I'm reasonably sure. Handsome too!"Based on other photos I purchased with this lot, I am pretty sure this man's full name was Elias R. Stone, a cabinet maker who was born in Virginia in 1828 and died there in 1879. So he would've been about 25 here. I could find no record of him fighting in the Civil War though he would've been fighting age, so maybe one does exist.
