Message:: [QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 389266, member: 33"]I've been looking, and found only one Marietta newspaper digitized and freely available online. Unfortunately it's available only in the 1890s up through 1901. I did see a notice that Crescent Photo purchased a studio that used to belong to a man name Weis. They were going to keep doing cheap photos at their original studio and do "fine" photos at the newly purchased one. This happened in 1899. So there is some indication that they ran two studios but also no indication as to whether they ran them under two different names. Also, I looked more carefully at the helpful link that QuincyAK10 posted and realized that the owners of the Crescent studio had moved to the state of Washington before 1910, when they showed up there in the census. The info I found above shows they were still in Marietta up to the middle of the decade, so they moved between 1906-1910. This brings up the possibility that somebody else either took over their studio or decided to use a similar name for their own studio. None of this helps, but just wanted to say what I've been doing. I see in the other thread that Bakersgma is going to help you now, since she is familiar with research in that area of the country. That is one of the best options you could have! Good luck![/QUOTE]
