photographer: Bennet Studio (O H Mulvane)

example from LOST GALLERY
Note three different imprint designs for the short time Mulvane would have been in Bennet, NE.
Also note the sloppy handling of the first example, with the imprint slanted on the card. This would result from not insuring the card was in the hand press straight before printing.

No documents have been found, so far, to fill in the gaps.
Nothing has been found to show when Mulvane was actually in Bennet, NE, but it was probably around the same time he was in Lincoln, N circa 1900. The towns are only 17 miles apart.
Also, the city directories for Lincoln, NE, in 1899 and 1900 do not list him. But those same years, two brothers, JD and Frank were living in nearby Raymond, NE, just 14 miles from Lincoln.
