example from LOST GALLERY

Heber Jones lived in a small town called Washington Court House, between Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio. He apparently had studios in neighboring villages such as Bainbridge and Sunrise, OH. No city directories have been found for those cities so exact addresses of his photo galleries are not known.

Newspaper items indicate he lived in Greenfield, OH, at least from 1905 until his death in 1925. Before that, he lived in Washington C H, Ohio.

From the US census reports it can be said he was a photographer from 1900 to his death in 1925. The few newspaper items found indicate the same range. He probably began in photography around 1890, but nothing has been found so far to support that speculation.

If more information is found, it will be added here.

This card is dated by the owner at 1893. The baby in the photograph was born 25 Oct 1892 and is clearly only about 1 year old in the photograph. Thanks to contributor CGilliam for the excellent example!
