worked at the business some eight years. In 1859, he came to Bucyrus, and established a gallery in a building
where the Sims House now stands. He has been located in his present place, Quinby Block, for fifteen years; here

enlarging of pictures in water-colors and India ink. He has exhibited at the county fairs and has always outstripped
his competitors. He is the oldest resident photographer of the place. He was married June 29, 1848, to Miss Annie
