John Minchin Lloyd - Who was he...really?

According to his obit in the Washington Post, he was 68 when he died in December 1892.

Just as well for my purposes that the Donaldson photograph wasn't Lloyd--I would have to change my description of him in my novel to read "the Adonis of Surrattsville."
