I came across this information while searching norcal. Carolyn **************** >From the 1927 Amador History I I ==================================== Pages 105,105: ---------------o--------------- "Wallace KAY came to Jackson in 1855. He was the pioneer photographer of Amador County, many of his daguerreotypes are now treasured as heirlooms. His brother, WIlliam, was also a Jackson resident, and both were thorough musicians, William playing the violin and Wallace, the cornet. In 1860 he married Miss Electa Jane HARDING, of Ohio, a daughter of Amos HARDING, and cousin of our late president, Warren G Harding. Seven children were born, of whom five are living, all married to descendants of pioneers. Emma married Walter JANSEN of Lincoln; Eva, Herman TRIPP, Alaska; Henry Edwin, Miss Rose SANGUINETTI; Inga, Herbert BRIGHT, and Roberta, Thomas HEDGPETH. The HEDGPETHS have two sons, Donald and Jack. The former is studying pharmacy. Joseph KAY and Phoebe KAY HALL, children of William, live in the old homestead on North Main Street." ---------------o---------------Page 44:---------------o--------------- P. S.--For Mrs. Tripp I will say that her father, Wallace KAY, and her mother, Electa J. HARDING, were married in Sutter Creek by Rev. B. F. MYERS, June 10, 1860. Witnesses were Dr. FIEFIELD and L. A. HARDING. Mr. KAY was a man well known for his kindness and charity. There are many interesting daguerreotypes still in existence in your county that were made in KAY'S photograph gallery when that art was young. Mr. and Mrs. .KAY spent all of their married life in Jackson.
