Hugh W. Ditzler
Oil painting, 16" by 24", from the private collection of M. Gates and shown here with his permission. This a portrait of Hugh Ditzler's young cousin, Major Earl Gates, 1895. It's believed that this is by Hugh Ditzler,
but it is unlike his typical "hard edged" style. It may actually be by Hannah Ditzler (Alspaugh), aunt of Hugh Ditzler, who was a prolific artist and writer in Naperville, Illinois. I am including any source information I have. Pat Sabin
