Circa late 1880s cabinet card for T. W. Lawson, Danville, Illinois

Crawfordsville Daily Journal (Crawfordsville, Indiana), March 19, 1890
T. W. Lawson, of Danville, Ills., has purchased through Cumberland & Miller, the 113 acre farm of A. J. Shafer, 3 miles south of the city on the Whitesville road. The consideration was $7,000 but Mr. Lawson does not come into possession until a year from March 1. He will then in all probability use it as a stock farm, making specialty of fine horses. Montgomery county is the place for horses.

Crawfordsville Daily Journal (Crawfordsville, Indiana), November 24, 1890
T. W. Lawson, Danville's most popular photographer, a rustling business man, a persistent advertiser and the friend to the newspaper, has sold his gallery and will move to his recently purchased farm near Crawfordsville, Ind. -- Potomac Rustler

T. W. Lawson, of Danville, Ills., has purchased through Cumberland & Miller, the 113 acre farm of A. J. Shafer, 3 miles south of the city on the Whitesville road. The consideration was $7,000 but Mr. Lawson does not come into possession until a year from March 1. He will then in all probability use it as a stock farm, making specialty of fine horses. Montgomery county is the place for horses.

"A Card to the Public. My photograph gallery over Con Cunningham's store is finished and ready for business. It is on the second floor and is easy of access, in fact the only second story gallery in the city. . . . I have had 20 years experience in the business and have during that time worked with some of the finest photographers in the United States, such as J. M. Appleton, the President of the Photographers Association; Mr. Tarris, of Washington, D.C.; Sitler & Launey, and others of equal ability and men of national reputation. . . . My real estate interests are here and we will make Crawfordsville our future home. . . . Since I began fitting up my place I have seen the cry in the newspapers of photographic war. I have nothing to say about my competition and will not enter into any war, but will make absolutely fine work at prices that will hold the trade to our city and leave no excuse for going to larger cities for work. Our inducements, only one flight of stairs to climb, courteous treatment and first class work at reasonable price. Very Respectfully T. W. Lawson."
