James David Huffman
(12 Jan 1841 - 15 Aug 1925)

J D Huffman was in the photography business in Tupelo, MS, from the 1900 US census to the 1920 US census. The family has not been found in the 1880 US census. There are no city directories so it is not possible to find studio addresses which usually helps date cabinet cards accurately.

Two of his sons, Claude and Walter carried on the photography business also.

There was also a J D Huffman as photographer from 1907 to 1925 in New Albany, IN, but no connection has been made to the one in Mississippi.

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.

Cabinet cards typically have the photographer’s name and address printed on the bottom edge or the reverse of the card. 19th century photographers moved around a lot. The basic idea here is to find WHEN a photographer was WHERE, which will help date an unidentified CABINET CARD from your family album.

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.
