Andrew Jackson "Jack" Fanning (1824-1886). Jack Fanning was a younger brother of Tolbert Fanning. Jack taught a number of years in Franklin College. There is a good biographical sketch of his life in "Franklin College and Its Influences."
William Anderson wrote of Jack Fanning that he "was an independent thinker, a thoroughly practical man. He was the first to teach many of us--and, I am persuaded, the first to teach it to anybody--that rules are deductions from principles; that he who understands the principle has the rule."
The handwriting on the back of the card is by T. B. Larimore. I photographed this images in the Larimore house in October 2016 ... before it burned.
