George William Hinkel
(15 Feb 1855 - 24 Jan 1906)
G. W. Hinkel was a photographer in Missouri from about 1885 to his
death in 1906. Though records show he kept a studio in Sedalia from
about 1891, the address changed at least three times. No records found
tell when he might have worked in Warrensburg, MO. One might speculate
that it was around 1885 when he was just becoming established.
Also the light weight stock used for these cabinet cards, with cream
color and single line red rule indicate circa 1880. Warrensburg, MO,
is only about 27 miles from Sedalia, MO, on a railway line.

I have a photograph of a relative that has Hinkel 110 E. Main St. Sedalia, Mo. on it. Can you tell me the circa date for this photograph studio. Between the name and the address is Extra finish.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your note.
DeleteIt is safe to say that Hinkel was at 110 E Main in Sedalia, MO, from Sept of 1902 through 1903. He might have been at that location a bit before and after but there is no document to support that. In 1900 he was at 104 Jefferson and in 1904 his studio was at 217 Main.
I will add your cabinet card to the page if you like. Send a scan or photo, including the edges, no cropping, to the address in the profile.
Thanks again!
Depending on the dates taken, some of these photos may actually be from Adam Hinkel. George William was the "& Son" of A. Hinkel & Son in Warrensburg. Also, to add to your list of studio locations for George, his advertisement in 1891 listed 107 Ohio St "above Taylor's jewelry store" in Sedalia. Check out the Sedalia weekly bazoo, Tuesday, Dec 08, 1891; volume 23, page 7.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I added a copy of the ad from 12/08/1891.
