Just in case anyone can help me identify this man, here is his photo, circa 1890's, attached. He bears a striking resemblance to Franklin B. VanValkenburg, on the www.vanvalkenburg.org website (under "stories"). There is a John Valkenburg also related to his family, but I cannot find the connection.

Other names mentioned in the family records are Saxe, Newton Fiero, Valkenburg, Burhaus, and Myer.
