Although the US census of 1900 finds Sherraden in Council Bluffs, IA,
on June the fifth, the 1900 city directory for Salt Lake City, UT,
also lists him at 329 D F Walker building. There is no doubt this is
photographer Sherraden, as the 1906 Utah death certificate also lists
the correct names of his father, mother and wife.

C. A. Riley and C. H. Sherraden worked together at least twice. The
cabinet card at the left was probably done during their later 1893 -
1894 collaboration.
Sherraden apparently leaves photography AND Council Bluffs, IA, late
in 1900, and never returns.
Two examples below, of cabinet cards by Sherraden are imprinted with
the 317 Broadway address that Riley occupied between 1907 and 1921. No
city directories or other records have been found placing Sherraden at
that address so it could be assumed that he was there only a short
time. It could be speculated that it was just before he left for Salt
Lake City, UT, in 1900.
There are two examples at the Snoqualmie Valley Museum. Reverse sides
are not shown but accompanying information says these were made at 317
Broadway, Council Bluffs, IA.
