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.

reverse of card at left

Edward M. Marschall
(9 Dec 1850 - 9 Jan 1897)

E. M. Marschall was born in Barnwell, SC. He was orphaned by the time he was 8 years old. The 1870 US Census finds him working as a clerk in a relative’s store still in South Carolina.

A 1878 tax roll shows him in Honey Grove, TX. The first and only mention of photography is the 1880 US Census.

He apparently partnered with a Brekeen in a pharmacy or general store as there are several mentions of the operation in the Honey Grove Signal, the town newspaper.

He is mentioned again in the 1895 Honey Grove tax roll and then he dies in 1897 at the age of 46.

He apparently practiced photography as a sideline as there doesn’t seem to be any mention of it other than the 1880 US Census. The cabinet card here was probably done near that year.
