Handwritten notes on the envelope holding the glass-plate negative:
"No. 30
Name: Jay Sharpe & Colt
Remarks: Apr 18 1906       Snap Shot Roebuck Plate"
I can't find him in Hobart in any census.

[10/13/2017 update] I have stumbled across some surprising information about Jay Sharpe, dating to 1908:

Jay Sharpe, Our Boy Poet
(Click on image to enlarge)
Hobart Gazette 2 Oct. 1908.


While no sheet music survives for that poem (at least on the internet), or for his second, "When the Dew Drops Begin to Fall," the record of his copyrights does.
