On the reverse of the portrait is written RMT UP 1893 by Hastings and Stratton Owego NY Tioga Co. NY. (Did Owego have a Quaker population?) I am interested in returning it to the Owego area, or if at all possible, the family. There are other words written in pencil on the reverse, but they are hardly legible. One may be Lear, or possibly Mrs. Lear. Another looks like it may be Nelson. If you are interested in seeing a picture of this portrait, please email me. The portrait was found at a flea market in Indianapolis. I am writing from Martinsville, IN, 35 miles south of Indianapolis. Thanks.
