John D Lemer
(1852 – 1931)

While brother Le Rue Lemer was consistently at 206 Market, John D Lemer moved around a lot. According to the Harrisburg, PA, city directories, J D Lemer had his own studio at 1215 North Third for nine years, from 1887 to 1895. Before and after that he apparently worked for other studios, probably his brother.

His studio was established sometime in 1886 with a partner, Charles C Schriver but that apparently only lasted about a year and Lemer was sole proprietor until 1895

Not the one you were looking for? Here's the photographer's INDEX by name. All the Cabinet Card photographers of the 19th century found in LOST GALLERY are listed there.

Cabinet cards typically have the photographer’s name and address printed on the bottom edge or the reverse of the card. 19th century photographers moved around a lot. The basic idea here is to find WHEN a photographer was WHERE, which will help date an unidentified CABINET CARD from your family album.
