Is this George Barrows?

The best answer we can come up with is: It might be.

The photographic technology that produced this image dates from about the right time. The photo was found among Barrows family photographs that in all likelihood had been collected by George's sister, Hattie. And it plausibly looks like someone of Yankee-Indian-Cape Verdean ancestry.

But, the photo is unlabeled, so we can never know for sure. Plus, all of the above clues would apply to George's brother Frank, as well.

So, we probably will never know for sure, but this may be what the face of Patient Number One looked like.
