• Notes

  One, Morgan Williams was a Photographer here in 1863; William Sauder in 1864; Henry Askew in the earlier eighties. Bonaparte Lake in the later years of that decade. These men used "Wet" Plates which they prepared themselves by coating a sheet of glass, cut to size, with sensitized gelatin. The Plate went wet into the camera and after the picture was taken the negative had to be developed promptly. Mr. Williams carried on his business in rooms above William McBean's Grocery store on the site of Clifford Kreig's building. William Sauder, a man 30 years of age, remained here only a short time. It is unlikely that there are many examples of the work of Williams or Sauder now to be found. Mr. Askew rented rooms from Mrs. Henry Sachs and there took individual photos. In addition to this gallery work he specialized in wedding, picnic and other group pictures. These pictures he sold afterwards chiefly to persons shown in them. This work often took him out of the Village and as he worked with wet plates which had to be prepared and then promptly used, he rigged up a covered waggon to contain a dark room, a work shop and storage for his equipment. This waggon was drawn by a span of light horses to "Location". When it was not in use he kept it in Mrs. Glick's Hotel shed.
