Unknown Man, Unknown Photographer

This photo may have been from the same photographer as the previous post.  The cardboard mat is very similar.  On the back of this photo are the words "Miss Woods".  My guess is that this photo is not a Wood family member as I have never found an instance where they signed their names or were listed in census records as Woods.  My Grandmother was adamant that there was not, nor would there ever be, an "s" at the end of our name. 

This photo is very faded and difficult to see but the man's dress, hair and mustache all seem typical of the area. 

There are several possibilities as to who this photo was given to.  Ella Eckard Wood had three daughters who could have been the recipient.  In many cases I have noticed "Miss" and "Mrs" being interchangeable--especially in the Mid-west and South.
