In Response To: J.A. Paramore Photography (Doyle L. Oaks)

Dear Doyle:

I have information for you out of the Hawarden Centennial Book published in 1987, it also have a picture of the STudio in the article. If you would like a copy mailed to you, send me your address and I would be happy to send it to you.

Photography:
Pioneers, desired pictures taken of family members, and of precious monents just as we do in our modern society. In 1887, E. A. Lynn had a photograph gallery that was managed by F. Tillston and later Tillston took over his studio. Robert Paramore, who had come from England as a school boy, purchased Tillston's Gallery in Apr of 1889, set up his equipment at 910 Central and called his studio, Paramore. He seemed to like the town, so he purchased the building for $600 in 1892. He continued his photography work until Dec. of 1949, when he suffered a stroke just before his 50th year in the picture taking business.

There are several Oakes listed in the Hawarden book, don't know if they apply, first names are Earl, Glenn, Henry and Harry.

Hope I have helped. Wilma J. Vande Berg, researcher for the GSCGS
