James Francis Ramsey
(22 May 1845 - 3 Mar 1917)
J. F. Ramsey began in photography with S. E. Curtis in the spring of
1864, in New Lisbon, WI. In the fall of that same year he opened his
own photo studio. He operated there in New Lisbon, WI, apparently
until two days before his death.
He also sold Kimball organs and New Home Sewing Machines and was an
agent for the Mutual Life Insurance Co.

Lots of information here but not what I am looking for, I am looking Joseph Francis Mackle who first worked for Ramsey in Ontario and then went out on his own for a short time about 1885s to 1895. I did find a photo of his as bellow but lost it

Thanks for your comment. Sorry I don't have anything on Mackle. I will look into Ramsey again and if I turn up anything new I will add it to this page.
