E W Miller

This one is not a standard cabinet card.

E. W. Miller of Overbrook, KS, was found three times in the Kansas Census: 1895, 1915 and 1925. In the 1895 census, he is listed as a photographer. In the other two he is a farmer.

In a page by page search of the 1880 US Census and the 1905 Kansas Census, he could not be found at all.

Perhaps photography was only a sideline for this photographer and perhaps photography was abandoned after a short time. There seems no way, at this time, to tell.

Not the one you were looking for? Here's the photographer's INDEX by name. All the Cabinet Card photographers of the 19th century found in LOST GALLERY are listed there.

This is a work always in progress.

Aditional information and new examples are always welcome. Any additional information will help narrow the time that these precious antiques were made.

All submissions should be free of glare and shadows.
Do not crop.
Leave a border around each card. The edges are sometimes an important clue to the age of the card.
