This might not be him I believe it is but I am not perfect, LOL
I did not find any other newspaper articles which was very disappointing. He had a very rough life and moved around, he might have worked for the railroad or he was a transient.
Maybe he is someone's ancestor and they can help fill in the blanks for us. But man what a sad life.
