George W Gordon




Photographer: ...Gordon
Montesano, WN
(Should be Montesano, WA)

George W. Gordon
(May 1855 - 10 Mar 1823)

Evidence is clear that George W. Gordon was a photographer from 1900 to 1910 in Montesano, WA, but the records are uncertain before that. Nothing has been found about George Gordon’s whereabouts between 1880 and 1900.

The 1920 US Census lists him as “No Occupation” at 65 and he dies three years later.
