OriginalSource: Plymouth Republican, 13 May 1897, Tuttle Picture Gallery sold to G. A. Webster
Plymouth Democrat, 4 Aug. 1898, G. A. Webster sold studio to Anna Dunn of La Porte, to take possession on 13th

Marshall County Independent, Plymouth, 5 Aug. 1898, p. 4, Mr. G. A. Webster, the photographer, has sold his photograph gallery to Miss Anna Dunn, of Laporte, who is already here acquainting herself with the situation. She will take possession August 15. Miss Dunn formerly lived here, was a teacher in the public schools of Marshall county for nine years and for a time clerked in the dry goods store of A. B. Coffy. Mrs. Bing Bower, residing north of the city is her sister. For the past nine years she has been employed in the photograph gallery of Mr. Bryant at Laporte. Mr. Webster has purchased the Heinina gallery at Valparaiso and will move his family there about Aug. 20. During Mr. Webster's stay here he has made many friends, and what is more has given his gallery a reputation that seldom comes to artists in cities no larger than Plymouth. His removal from our city will be deeply regretted by friends and patrons. 

Women of History in Marshall Co., Ind, Book II, p. 25: "Dunn moved to Plymouth in 1897 and purchased the Webster photograph gallery in the Packard block of the downtown area."
