John J Roach, Illinois 1889

I bought this in an antique shop in Exeter, CA. The back says John J Roach 1889. Anderson Photographers, Springfield. This is the only information.

Editorial note: There was an Anderson photographic studio in Springfield, Illinois from 1890 - 1900. This is most probably the studio that took this photo.

Whose family does this belong to?
People in photo include: John J Roach

Date & Place: 1889 at Anderson Studio in Springfield, Illinois United States of America

I believe this is John Judson Roach, born Jan 1870 in Illinois. He later moved to CA.
