Rather sketchy history on Caradine. The cabinet cards top-left, could
have been done any time between 1879 and about 1899.

I picked a cabinet card today at a garage sale. On the back there is an oval stamp that reads "Photographers - Caradine & Cummings - Sherman, Corsicana, Texas" - I'd be happy to provide a copy but don't see where I can attach a photo.
