What is the name of the man viewing the Gutzon Borglum statue of Abraham Lincoln in Newark, New Jersey?

Wild guess, but is it Osborne Oldroyd?

He's not a US Citizen?

Osborne Oldroyd it is! Kudos, Rob!
Oldroyd loved to take long walks. In 1913, at age 71, he walked from the Petersen House to New York City. On the way he stopped to view the Lincoln statue in Newark.

I think I should play the lottery. That was a complete and utter guess.

Rob, I would be most proud of you if you walked from the Petersen House to New York City like Olydroyd!!! I wonder how many folks on the forum could do that. I sure know I could not.

I can barely walk a block without my back bothering me. Maybe it was shorter in Oldroyd's time.
