I am trying to find out, or rather verify the fact that Chief Justice
Edward Douglas White, had facial hair before he died in 1921. I have a
portrait of him done by Ms. Marie DeFord Keller that the Library of
Congress is interested in but ONLY if I can find a way to prove that
he had facial hair as is painted in the portrait. I thought that
perhaps I could find a surviving member of his family that might have
an old picture of him right before he died...the painting is getting
old and beginning to crack, and I would  like to find a buyer for it
who would appreciate it before it is to badly damaged...PLEASE HELP

I have contacted an organization in the area where Chief Justice White
was from; perhaps it will have the answer.  I will let you know if I
receive a reply.
