Aztec, New Mexico, Michael Brumfield dies (no obituary has been found)
Details of the whereabouts of Michael Brumfield are pretty sketchy. It appears he had a studio in Dodge City, Kansas, from about January of 1888 to at least November of 1888. Beginning in January of 1890 he seems to be established in Pueblo, Colorado. The fact is, he moved around a lot.
For more about his Colorado period, see the fine coverage at
19th Century Colorado Photographers.

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.
