A number of identified photos from Margaret (Bond) Pierce's albums (not shown here) allow Cortis to be recognized in photos taken later in life; early photos show a slight cleft in the chin and a slightly cross-eyed look.

Cortis J. Pierce c.
1885
This is a cabinet photo from the photographer Douglas, Evansville, IN, the same photographer that photographed the entire James Perry Pierce family in other cabinet cards. He appears to be about 20 years old. His name is spelled Cortez sometimes, e.g., in his obituary. However, he himself spelled it Cortis in the 1880 Crittenden Co.

It doesn't hurt in comparing this and the above photo that they were taken using the exact same pose.
