Parsons, Kansas
example from LOST GALLERY
All the data and clues point to a very short relationship with Harris and Garrison. Neither of the names produced air tight profiles or lifelines. From what can be found, the photography partnership of Harris and Garrison lasted from February 1885 to 31 July 1886. It appears that Garrison was not in the photograph business before or after that period. C Lynn Harris continued on in photography off and on, with his galleries in Indiana and Missouri until about 1920.
The documents for the small town of Parsons, Kansas were few, but a fairly clear picture of the partners is shown in newspaper items and other sources.
