The top photograph features two men seated in chairs in front of a painted or printed backdrop with flowers and a fence. The man on the left is Harvey Avery. Avery was a Civil War veteran who worked in Traverse City as a salesman for various businesses. He died in 1924 at the age of 85. He and his wife Frances May Wilhelm had a daughter. The identity of the man he was photographed with is unknown.
