Charles Cary

Photographer: Chas. Cary
Angola, Indiana

Charles Cary (22 Aug 1859 - 26 May 1924) has a long and full biography with family in Angola, Steuben, Indiana. There doesn’t seem to be two people with exactly the same name at the same period, in the small town of Angola, Indiana either. He was many things over his life, including in 1870 a blacksmith, 1889 a plumber, in 1910 a Car Salesman and in 1920, Repair shop/vulcanizer. In 1907 he is mentioned in a news item that he is installing a gasoline engine in Hamilton, Indiana, News Office.

Only once in the Angola Gazetteer of 1897, is he mentioned as a photographer, no details. However there are several ads and items in the Angola, IN, newspapers that show clearly he operated a photograph studio from about 1890 to 1899 when he then turned to a machine shop and bicycle repair. The photograph studio advertising stops abruptly.

It is a also possibility that Charles Cary worked as a part time photographer during some of his other occupations.
