    " HE IS JUST SECRETARY BO
    Sweeney of Interior Department
    Doesn't Even Care for "Mister"

    WASHINGTON, DC, June 23, 1914" – The New York Times

    If Bain published this photograph ca. 1910-1915, it may have been in relation to the appointment of Bo Sweeney in 1914 as Assistant Secretary of the Interior.

    This is a photograph of the former Lillian E. Reeves (1880-1929) who married Bo Sweeney on February 2, 1898. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Reeves of Trinidad, Colorado.[1]

    Bo Sweeney (1862-1917) was a native of Missouri, practiced law and was a state representative (D) in Colorado, before moving to Seattle. He served as an assistant Secretary of the Interior with Secretary Lane from 1914 to 1917. Bo died suddenly of a heart attack in Washington in 1917. [2] [3] [4]

    Looks like Bo Sweeney. I started a Wikipedia entry for him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo_Sweeney

    Yup, Bo Sweeney was assistant Secretary of the Interior from 1914, native of Missouri, resident of Seattle. He died 1917, from heart problems.
