Clarence Leo Houseman.
There is no studio mark. At the top of the photo is Houseman (reversed) and some illegible text.
On Ancestry public family trees I could find no entries when I searched Clarence Houseman who died in 1924. Turns out he actually died in 1927.
Clarence Lee Hauseman was born on 2 August 1898 in Crystal, Montcalm County, Michigan, the son of Jay Jacob Houseman and Fanny Happy.
He became a Traverse City fireman in May 1923
He was married in 1923 in Grand Traverse County to Ruby Anna Fischer (1908-1982). The couple divorced and she was married in 1927 to Cecil Pitts.
Clarence died from pulmonary tuberculosis on 18 May 1927 at 849 State Street in Traverse City. He was buried in Oakwood Cemetery. He does not have a tombstone.
Their son Charles Herman Houseman was born in 1925 and died in 2014 in Virginia.
