No idea - wild guess - Dr. William A. Evans?
Dr. Theodore Flood, from The Chautauquan?
Sorry gentlemen, but neither is correct.
Clue#1-The person under consideration died before knowing that Tarbell would make him famous.
Bonus clue-don't get hung up on the term doctor. Doctor doesn't always mean M.D.

Clue # 2 - In her notes, Tarbell wrote of this person:
“Rarely see a more interesting old face—furrowed on the forehead and from the eyes and under the lids as I never saw a face furrowed.” She described his forehead as a “perfect checker-board” adding that the flesh around his eyes reminded her of a “hill side cut by heavy rains and the gullies dried. The flesh is folded up in wrinkles under the eyes but the cheeks are red and healthy.”
