The Unknown Soldier

In every war, this one notwithstanding, there are unknown soldiers. Below is a photo of our Unknown Soldier. My Great Aunt Joanna Boone has this photo at her home in Pennsylvania. It has been handed down through the generations and today nobody knows who he is. He could be an O'Neal, a Livingston, a Miller, a Boone. Joanna said she thinks she recalls that he was a Miller, but can't say for certain.

The photo is about 16 x 24" and housed in a beautiful old gilded frame in Joanna's attic. She said she plans on donating it to the Historical Society.
It appears to be an old daguerreotype, glued onto a cardboard backing, with a pastel crayon overlay.
If anyone can help us identify this unknown soldier, please come forward.
