Records for Randall are inconsistent to say the least. Building a coherent timeline is difficult when the documentation is hard to believe.

For instance the US census reflects a different date of birth for Randall each decade and then the death certificate is different than all the rest. All other factors match. (see below)


Atlanta (GA) Constitution - 04 Feb 1895

Charles E Randall and his son Charles W Randall, both photographers, are often listed as Chas Randal, C Randall or just Randall. With this in mind, the timeline here has been assembled with entries that are fairly certain for Charles E Randall, unless otherwise noted.

Atlanta (GA) Constitution - 19 Jul 1896

Atlanta (GA) Constitution - 19 Dec 1897





Evansville (IN) Press - 23 Jan 1907
Probably Charles W

Evansville (IN) Press - 15 Nov 1907
Probably Charles W

Evansville (IN) Press - 18 Mar 1908

Evansville (IN) Press - 05 Jun 1909

Evansville (IN) Press - 06 May 1912

  1. Hey, I'm writing a blog post about old photos I bought at a gunshow, and one of the photos I have, just has the Randall name. I noticed that some other photos floating around the web have both Anglin and Randall on it, did they split?
    I'm scanning the lot I got in pretty good resolution, you could use some of them if you want.

    1. Thanks for your comment. Not much was found about Anglin and Randall so perhaps a review is in order. Typically the partnerships of the early photographers didn’t last very long, most only a few months.

      Additional examples of a photographer’s work are always welcome. Send scans, including the edges (don’t crop) to the address found in the profile. The edges sometimes help date a card.
