Baron, Herman {~1857 – aft 1930}

Herman Baron was born in Austria about 1857. It appears that he learned the photography trade as an apprentice to Washington G. Smith in Cooperstown, New York. He moved to Marietta sometime after 1880 and worked for J.D. Cadwallader. In Dec-1887, Baron and co-employee J. William King purchased the photography studio from Cadwallader. Marietta city directories listed his home address as the Saint James Hotel (104-108 Butler Street) in 1890 and 1891. In 1902, the business was sold to Brigham and Clogston. In 1930, Mr. Baron was living at the Stroud Hotel on Sibley Street in Detroit, Michigan. He was still working as a studio photographer at the age of 73.

Bennet, William Penn {12-May-1819 - 31-Apr-1911}

William Bennet was born in Chesterville, Maine on 12-May-1819. When he was 22, Bennett moved with his family from New England by ox cart, “The trip consumed several months in time, and was one of the events of this notable man’s life.” The family resided in Sunfish, Ohio for a short time. Bennet moved to Marietta in 1847 and married Mary W. McKinney (1827 – 1906) on 15-Jul-1850 in Washington County. Bennett then taught at a small college in Kentucky for two years and also spent two years in Chillicothe, Ohio as a photographer before returning to Marietta at the start of the Civil War.

Bennet and his wife had two children, Charles C. (1863 – 1901) and Rachel Lalula Bennet Cowen (16-Mar-1857 – 09-April-1926). “W.P. Bennett opened a photographic gallery in 1862, and has a valuable collection of pioneer photographs”. In 1870, William and his family were living in Marietta’s Second Ward, his occupation was listed as “Photo Artist”. Next door is a couple who were probably his parents, William (age 86) and Rachael (age 80). Marietta city directories lists his occupation as a photographer 1875-1884. The disastrous flood of 1884 destroyed his building and Bennet retired from the photographic business. No occupation is listed for him in the 1890-1892 Marietta city directories. In 1893 he is listed as a “dairyman”.

“Since then he has devoted himself to literary affairs, and many of his articles have been published in leading periodicals of the country. He was an ardent prohibitionist and single tax advocate, and was well read on these subjects.”

William’s life came to a tragic end, when at the age of 92, despondent and feeling that he was a burden to his family and to the world, he committed suicide by drowning himself in the Muskingum River. At the time of his death, he was the second oldest citizen living in Marietta. William P. Bennett died 31-Apr-1911 and is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery, Marietta Ohio with his wife and son.

He was survived by his daughter; two granddaughters, Janet L. Cowan (b.1885) and Mary B. (Cowan) Templeton (b.1888) and a great-grandaughter, Mary Robert Templeton. A granddaughter, Anna J. Cowan preceded him in death.

He was survived by his daughter and three grandchildren:

Janet L. Cowan (Jul-1885 – aft 1926)

“Mr. Cadwallader took some fine pictures of the City Hall as it was decorated for the Memorial services Tuesday evening last week.”

He operated a studio in Marietta, OH under the name Cadwallader & Tappen “Gallery of Art” between 1860-1866. In 1866, he sold his interest to S.C. Tappen, only to return in 1868 to buy out Tappen. He also operated a branch in nearby Parkersburg, WV during 1873-1887. In 1887, due to ill health, he sold his Marietta operation to Bacon and King, former employees. He then entered the real estate investment business: buying, selling, building and renting. He also served as a director of the Citizen’s National Bank. He continued to live in Marietta at 109 Putnam Street until his death 05-Nov-1905 (6760-2). His obituary lists his birthplace as New Castle, PA, although other sources would say Mahoning County, Ohio.

Many southeastern Ohio photographers served as apprentices under Cadwallader. He was also known to travel extensively for the era, training other photographers including his brother John (Indianapolis, Indiana and Grinnell, Iowa and Toledo, OH) and possibly his brother-in-law Fred A. Wheeler. Various sources list possible Cadwallader ventures in these other cities:

????-1852: Chicago, occupation unknown.

1852-1857: Manufacturer of machines in Cincinnati, OH.

1857-1858: ambrotypist in Cincinnati, OH (lived at 264 Elm St.).

1857-1860: may have operated a photographic gallery in Maysville, KY.

1859-1860: operated daguerreian & ambrotype studio in McComb, OH.

1860-1861: located across from the bank (Bank of Marietta, east side of Front between Green and Butler. John Mills, President. I. R. Waters, Cashier.

1863: May have opened a studio in Toledo, OH at 107 Summit St.

possibly his brother John. Say photos backstamped John Cadwallader, TOLEDO!

Clogston, Helen W. (Jun-1873 – 1930-1958)

“Just the day for your picture. We are always busy, yet we always have time, and all the skill and carefulness to make you THE BEST PICTURE YOU EVER HAD."

Helen Clogston was born in Jun-1873 and lived with her parents at 710 Butler Street in 1890. She and sister Grace were the only offspring of Civil War Veteran Charles W. Clogston (1843-1909) and Emily W. Brookover Clogston (1844-1926). While she probably learned her business acumen from her father, long time owner of Marietta’s “99 Cent Store”, she probably learned the photography by working as an apprentice printer to H. W. Craig. The 1902-1903 Marietta city directory lists her in partnership with William H. Bringham as “Bringham & Clogston” operating at the former studios of H. W. Craig. But, but 1905 she is on her own as “Helen W. Clogston”. Helen and her teacher sister Grace (1878-1958), lived as bachelorettes at 722 Third St. in Marietta for many years.

Marietta’s March 1914 flood ruined Helen’s photography business and she spent the summer of 1914 traveling … headed south. By fall, she has married John Kirkpatrick in Fort Pierce, Florida. The newspaper account of the marriage states, “The news of Miss Clogston’s marriage will be of interest to the people of her home town, where she has many friends. One of our cleverest young business women, she was widely know as a leading photographer.”

After her marriage, Helen must have retired from the photography business as the 1920 & 1930 Census list her as a housewife. She and John are living in St. Lucie, Florida. John died in 1944, at which point no further trace of Helen has been found. Her sister’s 1958 obituary indicates that Grace was preceded in death by her sister Helen.

Helen Clogston was born in Jun-1873. Helen first appears in the Marietta city directories living in her father’s household at 710 Butler Street in 1890. The 1890-1897 directories list no occupation for her. 1898, printer for H.W. Craig at 270 Front St; living at 710 Butler. In the 1902-1903 directory she is listed in partnership with William H.

Helen and her teacher sister Grace (1878-1958), lived as bachelorettes at 722 Third St. for many years.

Carte de Visite photo (2-3/8 X3-7/8 inch) of Charles Wood Clogston of Marietta, Ohio. He enlisted April 17, 1861, at Marietta in Company B, 18th Ohio Volunteer Infantry under Capt. Frank Buell.

Marietta City directories list him as a photographer in city (?) from 1912-1920. By 1922, he is listed as the manager of Beverly Tire & Shoe Repair, not as a photographer.

Craig, Henry W. (05-Aug-1854 to 31-Jul-1922)

Every odd-number page in the 1890 Marietta city directory has a sales slogan from Craig:

“Craig’s photographs are always the best”

“Craig’s makes every variety of photos known”

“The only ground floor studio in Marietta is Craig’s”

A most curious article appears in at 1908 Marietta paper, but I searched the microfilm for the next ten days after the publication date and found no update:

“ According to information received here in a letter, Henry W. Craig, the former Marietta photographer, may be a murderer, as he shot and dangerously wounded a man named Wilson at Daytona Beach, Florida one day last week …

A municipal election was held last week at Daytona Beach, according to the letter. And in a controversy over politics that took place between Mr. Craig and Wilson, the latter struck the former Mariettian and called him a vile name.

Later in the day, the two met again and Craig pulled a gun and fired three times, a part of the leads entering the back of Wilson …

The news of the shooting caused surprise and a shock to the friends of Craig in this city, where he made his home for many years before going to Florida. He conducted a photograph gallery on Front Street at the place which is occupied now by Miss Helen Clogston.

Mr. Craig was one of the highly respected citizens of Marietta. He is a Mason and is at the present time a member of one of the local orders. Since going to Florida, Mr. Craig was interested in politics having at one time been clerk of Daytona Beach.”

1920: living on Virginia Avenue in Los Angeles, CA with his 53 year old wife Catherine (KY OH Ireland) He is 65, owns his home and is retired. (OH OH OH)

26-Jun-1920 Marietta Times:

“H.W. Craig, the man who made photographs of 14,000 babies here in 10 years, is back in Marietta for a visit, accompanied by his wife. They arrived Saturday night from their home at Hollywood, a suburb of Los Angeles, California, and expect to leave Tuesday for Springfield. For 19 or 30 years, Craig conducted a photograph gallery on Front Street. The couple removed to Florida 15 years ago. Later they located in Seattle. For 10 years Hollywood has been their home. They will visit different cities in the East before departing in September for their home.”

Henry Craig died 31-Jul-1922 and is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery, Marietta OH with his first wife Nettie Messenger Craig (03-Jul-1856 – 20-May-1897).Did not find an obit for him in Mtta papers. He may have died in Mahoning County?

Fowler, Frank O. (1860 - aft.1930)

Frank O. Fowler was born in Kentucky about 1860, the son of William (abt 1828 – bet 1900-1910) and Avorilla (abt 1833 – 17-Jan-1916) Fowler. Frank grew up in Portsmouth, Scioto County, Ohio. He most likely learned the photography trade from his brother-in-law William Fenner in Gallipolis, Gallia County, OH sometime between 1886-1895.

Frank moved to Marietta, Washington Co, OH 1900. He operated Ideal Art Studio at 290 Front Street from about 1900 – 1913. His widowed sisters Florence Taylor and Nellie Fenner lived with Frank and helped out in the studio/art store. It appears that Frank “retired” from the photography trade about 1914, as the Marietta city directories list his occupation as:

Salesman, Brown Piano Company (1914-1915)

Salesman, Gerke Chemical Company (1916-1917)

City Auditor (1919-1920)

Secretary,Washington County Savings, Loan and Building Company (1922-1930)

The 1931-1932 Marietta City directory list his sister Florence Taylor as the owner of his home at 432 Bellvue Avenue, in Marietta’s Harmar District.

Frank never married and it appears that the bulk of his estate was inherited by sister Florence and her daughter Maude.

CHARLES H. FENNER, of the firm of Fenner Brothers, photographic artists of Lima, with a well-appointed studio at No. 202 1/2 North Main street, was born at Gallipolis, Gallia County, Ohio. Mr. Fenner was educated at Gallipolis, and as his older brother and late partner was engaged in a photographic business there, he also became interested. Several years later he embarked in the dry goods business, and for 11 years he was connected with The John Shillito Company, of Cincinnati, subsequently going out on the road for some four years for a Brooklyn firm. When his brother located at Lima, in 1895, Mr. Fenner became associated with him and they continued in business together until the death of William J. Fenner, in 1903, since which time Charles H. has been alone. The late Mr. Fenner married Nellie Fowler, who still resides at Lima, with the one daughter born to them Aline Fenner.

The Fenner studio is the best equipped one in the city. Electric light is used in both the taking and printing of photographs, whenever it is thought desirable. For some eight years before coming to Lima, the late William J. Fenner made a specialty of outside view photography and the gallery is filled with many beautiful and interesting specimens of his artistic work. In its equipments and work turned out, the Fenner studio compares favorably with those of cities much larger than Lima.

He married Jennie A. Sharp on 03-Jul-1884. J. William “Will” King died at the age of 46 in 1907 and is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery, Marietta OH with his wife Jennie.

Jennie may have been the daughter of Dudley and Diantha.

After leaving that business he became a traveling salesman and had followed that occupation until ill health forced him to give up work … was a member of the Knights of Pythias, Elks, Commercial Travelers and Maccabees … at all times a jovial and pleasant friend and companion, he was like by all who knew him and leaves a host of friends.” Survived by wife, son and sister Carrie Peters.

McLaren, Peter (03-Jun-1831 – 10-Jan-1910)

Based on his biographical sketch in William's History of Marietta and Washington County and Representative Citizens, I do not believe that McLaren was a photographer. I believe that he was the "money man" of the Bennet & McLaren partnership. Although I found him in every Marietta city directory between 1860-1896, not once is his occupation listed as ‘photographer’. Sometimes he’s listed as a marble cutter, sometime in partnership as “Meisenhelder & McLaren.

McLaren was borne on 03-Jun-1831 in Edinburgh, Scotland. His parents were John and Margaret (Bell) McLaren. On 27-Mar-1867, he married Maria T. Hadley daughter of William and Catherine (Turnbull) Hadley. He died at the age of 78 on 10-Jan-1910 in Marietta, OH. He is buried in the Mound Cemetery with his wife and two daughters .

Did not find an obit for him in Mtta papers. Per Hawley, look at 31-Jan-1930 Mtta Times.

“Something New. – Every day brings something new to our city. W. E. Rippey has an instrument for taking pictures of children made expressively for the purpose, and can take an Ambrotype in one second and a negative in five. No one need say that they cannot get pictures of their children. Give him a call and you will be satisfied.

Those color Pictures are splendid. He is certainly doing a fine business in enlarging and coloring in Pastell and Water colors, also in ink. Anyone having old pictures which are fading out would do well to give him a call and have them finished in Ink, which will make them permanent.”

Simeon Sayres/Sayers was born about 1836 in Ohio. He married English born Elizabeth Ann Jones on 22-Nov-1857 and they had at least four children, William, E.A., Mary and Nettie. At the age of 27, while living in the 2^nd Ward of Marietta, he enlisted in the Civil War in Aug-1862. He served in the 1^st West Virginia Light Artillery Company C as a Private until 28-Jun-1865 {not Virginia}. Marietta city directories list his occupation as "artist" with a studio at 50 Front Street, Marietta, Ohio, 1860-1861. He lived on the southwest corner of Fourth Street. In 1870, he is living in Marietta’s First Ward. The 1873-1874 directory does not list him in the classified section under "photographer", but his occupation is listed as photographer in the residential section. Diane Gagel lists him as a Daguerreotypist in Marietta 1860, then in McConnelsville in 1868.

Highlights

Joseph Henry Sharp painting, ca. 1910, appraised by Kathleen Harwood, of Harwood Fine Arts, in Montrose, Pennsylvania.

Joseph Henry Sharp painting

Terry from Portland, Oregon, showed appraiser Kathleen Harwood an attractive painting of an American Indian, which he already knew was valuable. He said his grandfather, who had served in Arizona with the Army, bought the painting around 1920. On the back of the painting, the words "Rabbit Tail" and "Shoshone" are just barely discernible, and Ms. Harwood believes they identify the brave depicted in the painting. The work itself is by turn-of-the-century portraitist Joseph Henry Sharp (1859 - 1953), well known for his paintings of Plains Indians and for founding the Taos Art Colony in New Mexico. Many artists painted Native Americans, Ms. Harwood noted, but Sharp was the one who did so with the greatest sensitivity to his subjects. "He had an ardent desire to portray people as they truly were, rather than over-romanticizing them," she said. Trained in Europe, Sharp ended up working in New Mexico throughout his career. He was known to befriend the Indians that he painted and was also an avid collector of artifacts, wanting to help preserve the essence of what he saw as the Plains Indians' vanishing civilization. In recent years, collectors' knowledge of the Taos school of painters has increased, making the work much more sought-after in the American art market. "It's a burgeoning market, because of the appreciation for this kind of picture and for Sharp's particular talent. What was important to him was what's important to people today." Ms. Harwood put the painting's current value at far more than Terry had even imagined — even though he said he has no interest in selling it — $80,000 to $120,000.

Wade, Charles Amos

(IV) Charles Amos, son of Leonard Cassell and Sarah (Matheny) Wade, was born in Bath county, Virginia, April 30, 1836, and died June 11, 1908. He came with his parents to Wood county, (West) Virginia, where his life was mainly spent. He was a photographer and a druggist, also very active in politics, being a lifelong Democrat. In 1896 he was elected sheriff of Wood county by an unprecedented majority, and he served the four years term in this office. Mr. Wade was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. He married, November 9, 1864, Isabella, daughter of James MacNeil and Agnes Miller (Boreman) Stephenson, who was born at Middlebourne, Tyler county, Virginia, March 20, 1842, and died January 14, 1893. Her father was the son of Edward and Sarah Elizabeth Stephenson; he was a native of Greene county, Pennsylvania, but moved to Middlebourne, where he married; at Middlebourne he was a prominent lawyer, of distinction both in his profession and in politics. Mr. Stephenson was a Democrat, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. It will be noted that his wife bore a name honorable in the history of West Virginia, and of importance among the present citizenship of Parkersburg. There are, however, more families than one of this name, and it is often a mere variant of the more common name Boardman. Children of James MacNeil and Agnes Miller (Boreman) Stephenson; Kenner; James MacNeil; Isabella Sophia; Isabella, married Charles Amos Wade; Andrew; Lucy L. Children of Charles Amos and Isabella (Stephenson) Wade; Sarah, born October 11, 1865; Bethie, born November 9, 1867; Veronica, born February 9, 1872; James MacNeil Stephenson, of whom further.

Wheeler, Frederick Augustus Jr. (1844 – 02-Dec-1928)

It is likely that he received his photographer’s training from his brother-in-law, J. D. Cadwallader. Fred Wheeler was a son of Frederick A. and Harriet Wheeler. He was born in Marietta, Ohio in 1844. He married Laura Wells Franks on 04-Dec-1878 (daughter of Owen and Catherine Parr Franks) and was the father of one daughter, Constance (1881-1926). The 1870 census lists his occupation as “Drug Clerk”. In 1902 he was a “druggist” living in Mansfield, Ohio. He died in Columbus, Ohio at the age of 84 on 02-Dec-1928. He is buried in Mound Cemetery, Marietta, Ohio with his wife and daughter who both preceded him in death.

He graduated from Marietta Academy, attended Marietta College and was an Alpha Di Gamma. His obituary does not mention his photography career, “Mr. Wheeler had been a druggist for over 50 years”.

Woolley, Solomon Jackson (~1828 - ?) {May have done business in Marietta area as an “itinerant”}

" An itinerant daguerreian from Zanesville, Ohio, Woolley purchased his first camera outfit in Cincinnati, Ohio in January, 1850. He received instruction from a daguerreian in Zanesville, and apparently for the next year or more visited a variety of places: New Plymouth, McArthur, Logan, Harrisonville, Middleport, Pomeroy, Nelsonville, Athens and Point Pleasant, Ohio; Buffalo and Parkersburg, W.Va.; Decatur, Ind., and unspecified places in the South.”

“I sold my outfit, bought a new one, sent it before me and found myself in Parkersburg, W. Va. If I had taken a catalogue of towns and selected the one least suited to my business, I could not have escaped Parkersburg. The dashing of the Little Kanawha had no prospects of bliss or poetry in store for an artist. The town received me as gracefully as I could expect, having one see the elements which entered into its life. It was a new comer, like Charles Lamb’s cold spring, with a warm day:

“Unmeaning joy around appears,

And nature smiles as though she sneers.”

Born 12-Jan-1828 near Zanesville, Muskingum Co, Ohio to Isaac and Elizabeth Haskins. He married Francis V. Cromwell in 1880, his home base seems to have been Brown Township in Franklin County, Ohio.

******************

We offer you this beautiful steel engraving of Martin Dewey Follett, lawyer, Marietta, Ohio. He was born at Enosburg, Vermont, October 8th, 1826. His father, John F. Follett, removed to Ohio in 1836, and settled at Johnstown, in Licking County, Ohio, where his sons assisted him to work the farm he there purchased. Here the subject of this sketch remained until he attained his majority. He attended Granville Academy and College, and in 1851 he entered the junior class of Marietta College, and continued his studies in that institution until 1853, when he graduated with the highest honors. On the l9th December, 1856, he married Miss Harriet L., daughter of Samuel Shipman of Marietta. From this union a son, Alfred Dewey Follett was born, a youth of high promise, who graduated in his nineteenth year from Marietta College with the highest honors of his class. In October 1873, Mrs. Follett, the mother of this son, died, and on the 6th January 1875, his father, Mr. Follett, married Miss Abbie M., daughter of James Bailey of Lowell, Massachusetts. From this union one child has been born. Having resolved to study law, Mr., Follett did so, and in 1859, was admitted to the bar. Locating at Marietta, he has continued (1878) to reside and practice there. His father having been a man of excellent general character and sound judgment, the sons inherited much of his strong common sense and stability. John F. Follett, of Cincinnati, is a lawyer of high character, the peer of any at the Hamilton county bar, while Judge Charles Follett of Newark, Ohio, is a well-known and influential lawyer and jurist. Martin D. Follett is not less distinguished as a sound and thoroughly reliable counselor. Like both his brothers, he is a self-made man, having by his own exertions acquired such an education as, when followed up by him, as it was, with energy, proved the stepping stone to his life success.

We offer you this beautiful steel engraving of John Fassett Follett lawyer, Cincinnati. He was born in Vermont. He is the son of J. F. Follett, who removed to the State of Ohio and settled on a farm in Licking County, the father of nine children, three of whom are engaged in the practice of the law, one of them Judge Charles Follett, of Newark; another, Martin D. Follett, of Marietta, and the third, the subject of this sketch. The family is an old New England one, some of its members having been prominent actors in the colonial movements, and in the war of the Revolution. John Fassett Follett, having received his school education at Granville, Ohio, entered Marietta College, and graduated at the head of his class in 1855. Leaving this institution, he became a teacher in the Asylum for the Blind at Columbus, where he remained twelve months, but on its reorganization, on the election of Mr. Chase as governor of Ohio, he retired, as he found he would be the only democratic teacher left in the asylum. He was then appointed principal of the High School at Columbus, where he remained one year. The income, which he derived from this position, enabled him to defray the debt he had contracted in obtaining for himself a classical education. In 1857 he entered the law office of his brother Charles, in Newark, where he continued assiduously the study of law. In July, 1858, he was admitted to the bar at Newark, when he entered into a partnership with his brother that was dissolved in 1868, when he removed to Cincinnati where he has since continued in practice. In 1865 he was elected to a seat in the State legislature, as member for Licking County, and in the fall of 1867 was reelected for the sessions of 1868-69, and in 1868 was nominated by the democrats as speaker of the house, and elected by acclamation. He resigned his seat in 1868, on his removal to Cincinnati, to establish himself in that city in the practice of his profession. His ambition appears to be in connection with his profession rather than in politics, for although repeatedly solicited to be a candidate for high official positions, he has invariably refused, with the exception of the two occasions when he was elected to the legislature. On July 12th, 1866, he married Miss Frances D., daughter of Professor John Dawson, of the Starling Medical College of Columbus, Ohio, and from his union three living children have been the issue.
