Paper Photograph on card stock 2 ½ x 4 ¼" Somewhat faded. Is the photographer J. R. Gocgas? Taken in Madison, Indiana.
** Update **
footnoteMaven identified the photographer as J. R. Gorgas.
Apple found this page on J.R. (first name Joseph or John) at Craig's Daguerreian Registry of American Photographers 1839-1860, which appears to be a good resource.
Much Thanks to both fM and Apple!!

Hi Becky,
Great old photos!
Your photographer is J.R. Gorgas - Madison, Indiana.
Many examples of his photographs are online. Looks to have been a prominent photographer in Indiana.
I am involved in a project where I am doing some research into photographers of the time west of the Mississippi.

I love old pictures and have trouble identifying many of the ones I have.
Try this link. It gives some info. on Joseph R. Gorgas' movements that may help you date the picture.
