The records show that E. B. Hinman was a photographer in Clarinda, IA, from about 1875 to 1889.

His wife Emma dies after they have moved to Frontenac, KS. Fontenac is actually the north part of Pittsburg, KS, where he will live from 1900 to 1905. He is never again listed as photographer.

He works as a salesman for musical instruments and then life insurance. It is speculation only, but it looks like he was photographer in Pittsburg, KS, only for a short time between about 1888 and 1903. And perhaps he continued in photography as a sideline while he worked in the music business.

The style and stock of the cabinet cards here indicate much earlier production, in 1866-1880 but since he was apparently not in Pittsburg, KS until about 1900, perhaps he was using up some old stock.

This from the comment section:
"Edward Hinman, my great grandfather. The sad looking little girl with her hands crossed is his daughter Sattie Hinman who died of typhus a couple of weeks before her younger brother Hal died of the same. They are buried in Clarinda, Iowa.

According to a profile on Ancestry, Sarah "Sattie" Hinman died in 1882 at age three.

(Sorry the origin of this bio has been lost.)

The above bio tells us only that Hinman had a partner from the fall of 1874 to March of 1877. Cards would be imprinted with both names during that period.
