Vigo Co. Mar. Rec. (WPA index): Jacob W. Husher m. Mary M. Fleming, July 22, 1875

THE PHILADELPHIA PHOTOGRAPHER, May 1879,; p. 159, It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Mr. Jacob W. Husher, by suicide, at his home in Greencastle, Ind., on the 6th inst.  Many of the members of the National Photographic Association will remember Mr. Husher as a very active member; always amiable and genial, and ready to forward any beneficial movements in photography.  His friends will hear with surprise of the manner of his death, for he was the last man one would suppose likely to commit suicide; but he was perfectly insane at the time.

OriginalSource: The Philadelphia Photographer, Jan. 1876, p. 32: received cards and stereos from Mr. J. W. Husher, Greencastle, Ind., very creditable.  In one of Mr. Husher's cards a rather new idea is suggested; the marginal printing is done with a landscape negative, and the effect of rocks, foliage, and sky around the medallion portrait is quite pleasing.

The Philadelphia Photographer, Feb. 1877, p. 63: Received cards, cabinets, and an 8x10 from Mr. J. W. Husher, Greencastle.  Praise for 3 photos of baby.

1879-80 Williams & Co. Indiana State Directory, p. 369

Greencastle Star, 12 Apr. 1879, p. 1: He d. at age 52, despondent over illness, was a photographer in Terre Haute, had moved to Greencastle 5 or 6 yrs ago.
