    Looks to be Thomas Washington (1865-1954).
  • aware health said:
    According to that link, he was promoted to rear admiral in 1918, which might help date the photo.

    You guys need to start a new Flickr set "Great Moustaches of the 20th Century" or "Great Moustaches of History" and tag all the photos of moustachioed men. It'll make your flickr famous (well, internet famous).

    Glenna Smith Tinnin is mentioned in passing in the NY Times as being active in the women's suffrage movement. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9C00E2DC143AE6...

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Standing portraits, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    Mrs. Tinnin is mentioned on page 105 of "The History of Woman Suffrage" (free here at Google Books.) She is cited as the first chairman of the Equal Franchise League, founded in 1914 as The Woman Suffrage Council. There are aslo a few Internet references to her as co-author of a religious play called "One Night in Bethlehem" published in 1925. More interesting to fans of the Bain Collection, Glenna Tinnin was, according to an article in a short-lived magazine called "National Waterways" (free here from Google Books,) the "...originator and designer of the Pageant-Procession...." which took place in Washington D.C. the day before Woodrow Wilson's inauguration in 1913 (article begins on page 210.) The Suffrage Pageant is the subject of several Bain photos, as is the parade. The article mentions several other women involved in the Pageant who are also subjects of various Bain photos, including our old friends Inez Milholland, Florence Noyes, Hedwig Reicher, and Mrs. Owens and Mrs. Moore. Small photos of various Pageant participants in costume accompany the article. I suspect that many of those photos are lurking in the Bain Collection, and might appear here in the LOC photostream someday.

    I started a Wikipedia entry for her, and all are welcome to add information there: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenna_Smith_Tinnin Just ask, if you need to know how to edit Wikipedia.
