It appears that the partnership of Launey and Goebel lasted from
1888 to about 1894.
Goebel continues to operate a studio until 1902 and then goes to work
for D H Levy and Brothers, clothing store. He never returns to
photography.
The photograph from the Atlanta Constitution at the right, is
credited to "Launey, Savannah". It would have been done by Garnett
Launey, daughter of A R Launey.
