I have come in possession of a photo album belong to my GGrandfather's brother, Milton Oliver Griswold. It is full of studio pictures from IA & NE, supposedly of his family, but no names on any of the pictures. I was wondering if someone out there could guide me as to finding out when these studios were in business so I could at least date the pictures. Two in particular was taken by the Photographic Studio of Thomas V Gibboney in Columbus Junction, IA. I beleive these may be my GGGrandparents, but could tell more if I knew dates. Several are by Huebingers' located at 119 W. 2nd Street, Davenport, IA. There are some wedding photos taken by Malaur, Eagle Gallery in Des Moines, IA. There is one of a young woman taken by Bruetts of Davenport, IA. Quite a few of them were taken by Jno. Buell of Geneseo, IL. (I don't know where this is, so if anyone out there knows where Geneseo, IL is, please let me know & I will submit a query there as well.) There is a photo of two teenage (?) girls taken by Haynew' Palace Studio Car - Northern Pacific Railroad, branch studio, Yellowstone Park. One photo says Hostetty 1918 on the front side of the photo, with no location. Some are by Hakelier, Vienna Studio in Rock Island, IL. There are at least 50 photos in all. If anyone can give me any leads, there are other studios in the area on some of the photos & I can give a complete list if you need. Any help in dating these would be greatly appreciated.
