Hi. This is a photograph of Henry Saint John Rinker. This same image is found on p. v in The Diary of Henry Saint John Rinker; His account of events commencing January 1862 and ending December 1867, which was published in 1999.

Henry Saint John Rinker married Mary Fravel, the sister of my great-grandmother, Ann Fravel, who married Isaac Hottel.

Both Henry and Mary are memorialized with a stained-glass window in St. Paul's UCC in Woodstock.
