George Campbell Baum

photographer: G C Baum
Whitesboro, TX

George Campbell Baum
(24 Sep 1859 - 17 Oct 1939)

G C Baum was photographer in Whitesboro, TX, from about 1900 to his death in 1939. There are no city directories available for either Whitesboro, TX, where he lived most of his life or Holly Springs, MS, where he was born and lived until about 18 years old, so a closer examination is not possible.

George Baum’s first marriage was to Nancy Rebecca Crockett, sister of Nathaniel, William W, Eli C and Samuel R Crockett, the
Crockett Brothers, photographers in Oklahoma and Texas, around the same period.

(This is not George Campbell Baum. No records have been found indicating that G C Baum ever worked in Kansas.)

This card is by John Dallas Baum who was a photographer only a short time.
Apparently J D Baum had a studio in Hanover, KS, from about 15 April 1898 to May of 1901.

In May of 1901, he sold the studio to Joseph Dolifka and moved to Wymore, KS. He apparently worked as photographer there until the studio was lost in a fire 22 May 1922. It appears he got out of the photo business at that time worked as a salesman thereafter.

Not the one you were looking for? Here's the photographer's INDEX by name. All the Cabinet Card photographers of the 19th century found in LOST GALLERY are listed there.

Cabinet cards typically have the photographer’s name and address printed on the bottom edge or the reverse of the card. 19th century photographers moved around a lot. The basic idea here is to find WHEN a photographer was WHERE, which will help date an unidentified CABINET CARD from your family album.

This is a work always in progress.

Sunbeam Gallery

photographer Sunbeam Gallery
31 Third Street
San Francisco

Research ongoing on photographer
Sunbeam Gallery
31 Third Street
San Franscisco, CA

There were several photographers who named their studio or gallery “Sunbeam” all across the US. So far Sunbeam Galleries have been found in Dubuque, IA, York, PA, Pipestone, MN, Grand Island, NE, and Peoria, IL. In New York state Sunbeam Galleries were in New York City, Dansville and Elmira.

Another was the Sunbeam Gallery operated by George W Godfrey at 81 Main in Rochester, NY. (See example below on this page) This studio seems to have operated earlier than the usual cabinet card era producing mostly wet plate process tintypes and daguerreotypes, working in the 1860’s and 1870’s.

In California, one Sunbeam Gallery found was the Sunbeam Art Parlor at 236-238 s Main, Los Angeles, CA, operated by Charles J. Coules. No positive connection has been made to 31 Third Street, San Francisco, CA.

There was also a Sunbeam Gallery in San Bernardino, CA, operated by one William Godfrey (1835- ). He was born in New York but so far no connection has been made to the aforementioned George W. Godfrey of Rochester, NY. And no connections have been made to the address 31 Third, San Francisco.

And there was no shortage of G W Godfrey's during that time. There are records of at least four on the east coast including a prize fighter in 1883 and a man injured in the New York Saint Patrick day riots in 1867. There was also a George Godfrey in Oakland, CA, with his wife Jane, but he was not a photographer.

So, no positive identification has been made for the photographer who was at 31 Third Street in San Francisco, CA.

These cards are from California. All use Sunbeam in the name.

example from contributor Foltz

The cabinet card on the left was contributed by a reader wishing to identify the subjects.

"I believe the photograph is from circa 1900. It belonged to Vivian (Foltz) Silva, who likely inherited it from her mother, Myrtle May (Mills) Foltz, who was born in 1883 in Athens Co., Ohio, but grew up in Kansas, and later moved to Oregon and Washington. Most of the photos in the collection from this time period were of family and friends from around Manhattan, Vliets, and Marysville, Kansas, so it's possible this couple in the photograph also had ties there."

Note that this is the same backdrop as in the photograph in the row just above.
