Ulysses Leffel obit from the Peru Republican on October 27, 1939: He was employed at Lentz Bros. Photography.
Indianapolis Star (Indianapolis, Indiana), December 11, 1935, p. 10
"Studio Damaged $14,000 by Downtown Peru Fire." Peru- Dec. 10.
Fire in the Lentz Bros' photograph studio today caused damage estimated at $14,000 and for a time threatened other downtown buildings, although the blaze was confined to the studio. The fire started in the print room, supposedly caused by a cigarette. All contents were destroyed except camera lenses that were carried to safety and the building was badly damaged.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, Indiana), December 11, 1935, p. 1
"Heavy Fire Loss in Peru Photo Studio." Peru, Ind., Dec. 11. - "A valuable collection of negatives of prominent Peru citizens and historic events in the city development were destroyed in a $14,000 fire that swept the Lentz Brothers studio here. The fire started when Charles L. Lentz, 67, one of the owners, lighted a match. A negative caught fire and within a few moments the entire collection was blazing. U. S. Lessell, 50, and employee, was burned slightly in fighting the fire. The negatives had been collected over a 40-year period."
