William Henry Neuman



photographer: Neuman
Camp Point, IL

The photographer, William H Neuman appears in the US census of 1900. Not much else has been found about this photographer. In the US census of 1880, at age 21, he is listed as still living with his parents and working as a cooper.

Additional searches found almost nothing. There was no city directory at Camp Point, IL. No newspaper mentions were found.

So far it can be shown only that W H Newman was photographer around 1900.

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.

Robert Mullins


Photographer: Robt. Mullins
Marlin & Kosse
Texas

Not much has been found on Robert Mullins to date.

To muddle things a bit, the item below from the Victoria Advocate, 11 Mar 1899 shows a Robert Mullins selling his photography business in Victoria, TX, to Mr. Rodman. (Note: The printing is obscured a bit. Perhaps the name on this one is Robert Mailins.)


The small town of Victoria, TX, is NOT close to the towns of Marlin and Kosse, TX where JOHN Mullins was working.

No research on Kosse of Texas at this time.

Wilbur Fisk Kellogg



photographer: D R Kellogg
Reedsburg, Wis.

photographer: Kellogg
Reedsburg, Wisc.

Documents show that there were six maybe seven photographers named Kellogg in Minnesota and Wisconsin during the cabinet card era. It is probable that they were related in some way but accounts differ. John Dempster, Douglass Right, Wilbur Fisk and Edgar Sackett Kellogg were brothers, all born in Danby, NY. Henry Kellogg was a son of Edgar Sackett Kellogg.

Three other photographers in the area and named Kellogg were George W, Anson I and Mark. George W Kellogg appears twice, in Beaver Dam and Milwaukee, WI. For these three, no connection to the other Kellogg family has been made.

The Kellogg brothers apparently worked in several locations across the state of Wisconsin. While most of the cabinet card examples do not tell which of the Kellogg photographers did the work, they do usually tell where the photograph was made.

There was another group of photographers named Kellogg working In Connecticut and Vermont. So far no connection has been made to the Kellogg family working in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

The objective here is to discover when they worked in each town and which one it was if possible. Following is a list of locations and what information has been found to help tell when one of the brothers worked at that location. Not all sources agree exactly (as usual) but all items are listed anyway.

William Henry Boardman



photographer Boardman
Union Block, Trumansburg, NY
(probably finished between 1890 and 1896)

William H Boardman
(1869-1943)

Looking at the records, from about 1900 until his death in 1943, William Henry Boardman was often listed as a photographer, his residence and studio at 1060 South Avenue, Rochester, NY.

He was not, however, a photographer during that time. He was a photo-finisher, a term probably unfamiliar in those days.

The records are rather thin before that. One Ithaca, NY, city directory record does place him firmly as photographer in Trumansburg, NY, in 1890. That lasted perhaps until about 1897. He may have worked in other small towns in the area also.

He seems to have tried other employments around the turn of the century, 1900. Between 1898 and 1903 he worked with Eastman Kodak, Mohawk Camera Company and he may also have worked as photographer for other studios. But, after that he works at 1060 South Avenue for the next 40 years as a photo finisher.

There were at least two other photographers named Boardman in upper New York state about the same time. There was George Boardman and B D Boardman of Seneca Falls, NY. (See example below) So far nothing has been found to place either of these Boardman’s in Ithaca, NY or connect either of them with William Herbert Boardman of Rochester, NY.

The cabinet card shown here was likely done in that early time around 1897 when William H Boardman was in Ithaca, NY, working as a photographer.

Elmer Buck seems to quit photography completely in 1915 and move to Washington state.

Although there is almost a year by year accounting of the locations of E E Buck, there is no mention of being partners with John J Fritz. The only hint is the Buck residence in 1912, at 309 Nicolette av which is a few blocks from Nicolette Island. Nicolette Island is in the Mississippi River which runs between Minnesota and Wisconsin at Minneapolis. But that is when John Fritz is engaged in business with his brother Frank X Fritz. Still, keeping the studio in St. Cloud,Fritz could have partnered with E E Buck for a short term in 1912. It’s possible; it’s speculation.

The only sure conclusion is that the partnership of Buck and Fritz was a short one.
