Bulletin of Photography, 16 Aug 1922
L.E. Pontius, Columbia City, attended Winona School of Photography

Conversation with Bev Henley, Whitley County Historian, 6 December 2011:
She was told by a photographer named Jones that Jones approached Mrs. Pontius after her husband died and asked to buy his negatives. Rather than seeing anyone else make money off of her husband's work, she burned the whole collection.
