Photo of John Dunn McIntyre?

Sal Bigone believes the person on the left in this photo is John Dunn McIntyre (1864-a1908). [See note at end of post]  The back of the photo is signed J. R. McIntyre. The person on the left looks like he is in his twenties.  John Dunn was born in 1864, dating this photo c late 1880s or early 1890s.  We know Bartholomew was in San Salvador in the mid-1890s as Bartholomew's daughter, Mercedes, was born there in 1896.  Bartholomew's previous children were born in San Francisco and before that, Mexico.

The author of the note on the back refers to Marysville, California.  In Bridget Stevens McIntyre's death notice, it lists John Dunn's brother, Thomas McIntyre, as living in Marysville in 1908. Could the note be written to Thomas?

Does anyone know more about John Dunn McIntyre and his possible stay in San Salvador?

    Friend Brother?

I am a little behind time in replying to your letter I am well and still at work. How is things in Marysville.  My two chums and my self was out for a walk last Sunday and we had our pictures taken this is one of them. I do not look as I did when you seen me last. But when you are in Rome you have to-do-as the Romans do.  You would please me very much if you would send me some papers. Remember me to Neran(?) and all of the boys.  I think I will rite up a piece for the Marysville Democrat by the time I hear from you again.
With best wishes I remain as ever
J. R. McIntyre

Note: It has been learned that John Dunn went by the name John Robert later in life. This would explain J. R. McIntyre as the signature. So, yes, it is John Dunn AKA John Robert! (May 18, 2020).
