James Laban Wright

Photographer: J L Wright
Sipe Springs, Tex.
example from LOST GALLERY

There were several photographers named Wright in Texas in the late 19th century. No positive connections have been made to this J. L. Wright. Sipe Springs is now considered a ghost town.

These newspaper transcriptions were found on RootsWeb. Perhaps they will lead to other discoveries.

Transcription of newspaper pages
Transcribed by Judy Michaels in co-operation with Tami Ramsey.
The Comanche Chief, Comanche, Texas. 26 June 1879
Mr. J.L. WRIGHT, the old and reliable photographer, is again in the field, at his old stand on the South side of the square, where he is now prepared to take all kind of pictures in the best style of the art, both photographs and gems. Give him an early call as he will only remain a short time.

The Comanche Chief, Comanche, TX. Thursday, August 28, 1879
Jim WRIGHT is taking excellent pictures now. We have seen several specimens of his work lately that would compare
favorably with any city artist in the state.

Transcribed by Judy Michaels
The Comanche Chief, Comanche, Texas. Thursday, Jan. 22, 1880
[Transcriber's note: This was a special issue to extol the virtues of Comanche County to the "immigrant". Because it is very long, I am transcribing it in two parts. This is Part 1 of 2.]

J.L. WRIGHT-COMANCHE'S BOSS PHOTOGRAPHER
With the exception of Galveston and Dallas, we doubt if there is a town in the State that has an artist equal to our Jim WRIGHT. His work brings out every feature of the human physiogomy upon the negative, and his pictures are printed and toned to perfection. He takes every style and kind of picture from the little miniature for a lady's locket, to the magnificent cabinet size photo. He has on exhibition and for sale at his gallery some magnificent views of our little city. If you wish a cheap and magnificent present for your friends, and one that will be appreciated as much as the most costly from Tiffany's, have Jim to make you a dozen of those elegant cabinet sized photos.

Transcribed by Judy Michaels
The Comanche Chief, Comanche, Texas, Saturday, August 6, 1881
J.L. WRIGHT, one of our old-time Comanche boys, was in town yesterday.

John Harris Wright

Photographer J. H. Wright
Ottawa, Kas.
(finished circa 1891)

There were several people with the name J. H. Wright in the late 19th century. Two or three of them seemed to be photographers in the mid-west at one time or another.

The right one was finally sorted out with the discovery of a newspaper article describing a marriage of “Mattie Geer” of Oswego, KS, to photographer J. H. Wright from Macon, MO, in 1899.

Macon Republican - 12 Dec 1899

Here is an interesting bit from her obituary: "Mattie lived and worked in a saloon, cleaning up for her room and board. She had to fend for herself and it was in Cherryvale, Kansas, that she met up with John Harris Wright and agreed to go with him. She married him in 1899."

There are small almost weekly advertisements in the Osawatomie, KS, newspaper, “The Graphic” that place him in Ottawa, KS, from 13 Jul 1888 to Sep 1889. Two news items from the Ottawa Daily Republic place him with a studio in Ottawa 1891 and 1892.

Osawatomie Graphic - 14 Dec 1888

Ottawa Republican - 17 Jun 1891

Ottawa Republican - 21 Jul 1892

After the marriage in 1899, he and his wife live in Macon, MO until about 1903. After a time in St. Louis, MO, the two spend the rest of their lives in towns in Ohio.
