Eclectic farmer from Michigan. But why, I wonder, would you choose that?
The grandson of the man in the picture lives in AZ and is president of the farmers legacy, Globe Corp, so perhaps that?

I used google. But there were 10 internets at stake.

He's my great grandfather. Not a farmer and not from MI. He was a coal magnate born in PA and lived most of his life in Chicago, but he did have a summer home/chicken farm/private zoo in Holland MI.

He was one of the wealthiest and most influential people in Chicago, and besides, I'm not gonna just hand out 100 internets for something everyone would know.
If you wanted to be more intimating you should have added some pirate speak.
Sorry I'm late. I was out of town.

OK, I'm back
he's the most famous relative I have, a huge movie star in his day and the first to star as the well-known character he portrayed. the author of the book his character is from didn't want him at all, but had no say in the matter after signing the rights away
he also was a bit player in Birth of a Nation and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
and he's about as distant a relative as you can get. I calculated him as a 6th cousin 7 times removed

Elmo Lincoln?
And no, I don't win the internet. I had to look it up. (I did know the picture was a Tarzan, though)

George Eastman. YOU ALL LOSE!!!!!!
it is Elmo Lincoln and he is related to me by way of my great-grandmother Clara Eastman. her grandfather's brother's son was Otto Elmo Linkenhelt and he was the first to play Tarzan in the movies
I did say the relation was distant
we're pretty sure Clara was not related to George

Should be easy enough for some of you. That and . . .

I had thought I had seen someone did call it; Capt Richard Winters, CO Easy Co 2/506 PIR, 101st Airborne Division
but I can't find who did it

I didn't think of searching there
when I couldn't find it in this thread, I thought I had either A) gone insane or B) lost the ability to read
& wasn't ruling out the possibility of both happening at the same time

Did you read Candice Millard's Destiny of the Republic? It's on my Kindle, but I am in the middle of another biography of hers. Garfield might be one of the most interesting presidents we ever had (length of term notwithstanding).
I found this old photo while walking around Interzone.
Yes I did, its a very interesting book. Her portrait of Garfield is very interesting, but just as interesting is the description of the political context of the time. Those who opposed Garfield, who were in favor of patronage, did so not because they were evil or nefarious, but because they thought it was the best way to govern. Today, we would scratch our heads at that thought. It makes one wonder what positions we hold dear now that future generations will puzzle over.
