It was rare before 1900 that women were even allowed to own their own business or vote or seek an education. I suspect, at least at first, Mary Weigel leaned heavily on “carrying on” her father’s business to keep the name. Of course, if your card is old enough, it may actually be by her father. It appears Henry Weigle turned more to watchmaking in 1880 according to the 1880 census, while Mary is listed as photographer. This Weigel page is in the process of an update. It would be great if your example could be added to the page. anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966724474880692543.post-1772506239263890642022-04-05T08:09:57.689-05:002022-04-05T08:09:57.689-05:00Did Mary's first name and/or first initial (M....Did Mary's first name and/or first initial (M.) always appear on her cabinet cards? I have cabinet cards from Dubuque from late 1880s that have only the last name Weigel.Alicianoreply@blogger.com
