Henry Mack arrived in Rockford prior to 1868 when he purchased a lot on the Mill Block facing Main Street where he opened a shop manufacturing and repairing shoes. At times he did operate a shop outside of Rockford to increase his income. Henry would sell his lot in 1878 but remained a resident of Rockford until he passed away in 1898. The photo is most likely his shop in Rockford, but we cannot be 100% sure.
