Cabinet Card photo. 1891. Photo studio: Hartley, 309 W. Madison St., Chicago, Illinois.

Price:  $10.00    Size:  4 and 1/4 x 6 and 1/2″

Sometimes we get lucky with names, sometimes not:  Here’s a beautiful Cabinet Card portrait of a kind-looking older gentleman, maybe in his seventies or eighties. The writing on the bottom says (insert your best guess here on the name)  “D. A. Tibbles. 1891.”  So, Ancestry, Find A Grave and city directories were searched but we couldn’t find anyone under the possible last name of Tibbles or variations to fit his initials (and alternates) and time-frame.

The photo was taken by a photographer at the Hartley Studio, located at 309 W. Madison St. in Chicago. See the next post.
