Nothing has been found about a Hillyard and Co of Honey Grove, TX. No other examples have turned up.

The dominant photographer in Honey Grove appears to have been Hope Guthrie. Many well preserved examples have been found. But, here again, no newspaper mentions have been found. Also there were no city directories found. So far, only one mention of Hope Guthrie has been found. This is in David Haynes “Catching Shadows”: Hope Guthrie, 1896-97, Honey Grove, TSG.

Until something turns up on this card by Hillyard and Co (photographers), not much can be speculated as to dates of operation in Honey Grove, TX. Research ongoing. Suggestions welcome.

Since no other examples of the work from Hillyard and CO of Honey Grove have been found, here are some example from other photographer from that city in texas
