- FRANK A. TALMADGE, a popular photographer of Edgerton, and
one of its most enterprising
- citizens, established business in that place in the autumn
of 1881. He is a Badger by birth, having been born in the town
of Rosendale, Fond du Lac County, in 1859, and is a son of William
Talmadge, one of the early settlers of that county. On attaining
to mature years, he began looking about him for some trade or
profession which he wished to follow, and selected the art of
photography, which he began studying in 1879, under the direction
of John DILLON, an expert photographer of Fond du Lac. After
two years study, in which he became thoroughly conversant with
the art in all its details, Mr. TALMADGE established a business
for himself in Edgerton in the fall of 1881, and has built up
a good trade. He is an excellent workman, makes a study of his
art, keeps well posted on all the improvements of the time, and
by his fair dealing, good work and evident desire to please his
customers, has secured a liberal share of the public patronage,
of which none are more worthy.
- In 1885, Mr. TALMADGE was married, Miss Sarah WOOD, a daughter
of Lucius WOOD,
- becoming his wife. They have many friends in Edgerton, where
they are well known, and are held in high esteem by all.
