OriginalSource: Directory of Fort Wayne Photographers, 1843-1930 by John D. Beatty (http://www.genealogycenter.org/pdf/directoryoffortwaynephotographers.pdf, viewed Nov. 4, 2017)
Aber, John F. 1875-1876. Photographs. He was born in Indiana about 1851 and was enumerated in Adams County in 1870. He was apparently in business briefly with Elisha Poston and listed his studio at the same address, 44 Calhoun, in 1875-76. He described himself at that time as a solar photographer.A subsequent directory lists him in Auburn, but by 1880 he was working as a salesman for a wholesale grocery store in Logansport.

OriginalSource: Ft. Wayne Weekly Sentinel, Sept. 15, 1875: Mr. E. W. Poston has left at this office a stereoscopic view of what purports to be the "old fort." The picture is certainly a good one, but whether it resembles Mad Anthony's stronghold only the oldest inhabitant can decide.

Western Photographic News, Mar. 1876, p. 213:
article about items stolen from E. W. Poston's gallery, Ft. Wayne, night of Feb. 27, 1876: 4-4 Darlot, 4-4 Voigtlander (minus one pinion), 1-3 H. B. and H., 9"Weston burnisher (minus the crank), retouching frame, 4-4 and 11x14 camera box, the latter without the ground glass. Poston suspects a polish peddler named Thompson, alias Green, alias Slocum.
