Identify Fry Studio Photo?

 I received this email from Ingrid Weideryd, of Lungsbro, Sweden. (Thank you Ingrid!)

She said .... At Odebolt history blog I found a photo of a man who looked like my great grandmothers brother. It was from Erin Bohannons album, posted 31 of July 2019, Photo 5, taken at Fry Studio Odebolt. I enclose a photo with this mail (below). There is no name on the photo, only a text written by my grandmother. It says Mammas bror = mothers brother.

 
The photo she believes is the same man

The photo enclosed in the email

 My great grandmother Maria Charlotta Johnsson had four siblings, two brothers and two sisters. All her siblings emigrated first to Minnesota and then to Odebolt, Iowa, USA. Maria was born in Synnerby 1875 in Sweden and she lived all her life there. The man on the photo must be one of Marias brothers.

My great grandmother Marias siblings:

Anna Kristina Johnsson was born 7 may 1862 in Gerum Sweden. She emigrated to USA with her sister Emma and came to Odebolt 1 april 1890. She was married to Anders Peter Swanson (Andrew) born 1862.

Carl Gustav Johnsson (Charly in USA?) was born 26 sept 1864 in Gerum, Sweden. He emigrated to USA 13 jan 1888.

Emma Sofia Johnsson was born 31 dec 1866 in Synnerby, Sweden. She died in Odebolt 24 dec 1890, the same year she arrived there.

Lars Johan Johnsson (Frank in USA?) was born 11 apr 1871 in Synnerby, Sweden. Married to Sofia Andersson.

Aunts and uncles to Marias siblings also emigrated to Odebolt, Iowa, USA. They changed their family name to Stoneberg. Maybe Marias siblings also changed their family names, I don´t know.

I hope this gives some help to identify one person on the photo.
