"Doc" Blackburn pulled my father's tooth without anesthetic when my Dad was
a boy of about 7 or 8 years old, and he never forgot that experience. My
father was born in 1907, so the tooth-pulling by Dr. Blackburn must have
taken place about 1914 or 1915.

That looks like W.T. Blackburn, Dentist. I did find Wilbur Blackburn
age 33
in 1910 Shelby Co IN census, and he was a dentist. If he had become a
dentist by the time he was 24, that might place the photo between 1900 and
1910 or thereafter, if it was indeed him.
Since he was from PA and would be about 3 in 1880, this family could be
his.
