Someone told me this was not listed in any of his Indiana token references. He also said that an Indiana cataloger never saw one before. Thought you guy might like to see it. Any thoughts on what it might be worth?

and ask for their genealogical department and their historian for info regarding that name.
I was able to locate some info on him on Ancestry -
1900 Census - indexed last name incorrectly but I think it is him. Occupation is listed as "saloon keeper"-
