Photographer: E. M. Marschall
Honey Grove, Texas
example from LOST GALLERY
Edward M. Marschall
(9 Dec 1850 - 9 Jan 1897)
E. M. Marschall was born in Barnwell, SC. He was orphaned by the time
he was 8 years old. The 1870 US Census finds him working as a clerk in
a relative’s store still in South Carolina.
A 1878 tax roll shows him in Honey Grove, TX. The first and only
mention of photography is the 1880 US Census.
He apparently partnered with a Brekeen in a pharmacy or general store
as there are several mentions of the operation in the Honey Grove
Signal, the town newspaper.
He is mentioned again in the 1895 Honey Grove tax roll and then he
dies in 1897 at the age of 46.
He apparently practiced photography as a sideline as there doesn’t
seem to be any mention of it other than the 1880 US Census. The
cabinet card here was probably done near that year.
Not the one you were looking for? Here's the photographer's INDEX by name. Listed here are all the Cabinet Card photographers of the 19th century found in LOST GALLERY. This is a work in progress. For a look at the original postings go to LOST GALLERY.
New examples and additional information 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.
