Find A Grave #73894341 George W. Stigleman (includes his portrait). Tombstone: 1836-1895. Text states born 1836 in Wayne County, Indiana. Died May 21, 1895, buried Earlham Cemetery, Richmond, Wayne County, Indiana. Spouse Elizabeth Caroline Bailey Stigleman (1839-1892, married 1854); children Mary Ines (1857-1859, Edward W.

Richmond Item (Richmond, Indiana), August 18, 1883, p. 4
G. W. Stigleman and family are back from Indianapolis. Referrs to him as "Wash."

History of Wayne County, Ind. v.II (Chicago Interstate Publishing Co., 1884), p. 237-238
George W. Stigleman, photographer and patentee of the new retouched solar picture, 537 Main street. After having learned the art of photography Mr. Stigleman commenced business in this city about fourteen years ago. Many years of practical experience made him a first-class photographer and brought a large and lucrative business. In 1873 he began working on an apparatus designed for the preparation of photographic negatives, and on March 5, 1878, had it patented, having filed his application on Feb. 16, 1877. This process is unquestionably the most valuable thing discovered for many years. An unlimited number of photographs may be printed from a negative prepared by this process, not one of which will need the* slightest retouching in India ink. Mr. Stigleman has by his genius added no little to the art of photography and is deserving of credit for the success of his invention. Quite a number of unprincipled photographers have infringed on this patent, but have failed to make public their so-called invention for fear of exposure. Stigleman's photograph parlors, at 537 Main street, are fitted up handsomely and equal to any in this section of the State. Quite a number of excellent samples of work done by this new process are on exhibition here, some of which are almost life size; the collection is probably the finest on exhibition in the West. Mr. Stigleman is a native of Wayne County, learned his profession in this city, and has been a resident of Richmond many years. His house stands at the head of the art, with a trade in all parts of this State and Western Ohio. He married Caroline, daughter of Evan Bailey, now of Washington, Clay Township, and granddaughter of Nathan Brazer.

Richmond Item (Richmond, Indiana), February 3, 1887, p. 1
"The Slate-Writing Medium" article states that Mrs. Jacobs is now at G. W. Stigleman's. She said it was Spiritualism.

Obituary of Mrs. George W. Stigleman, Sr. She was born in NC in 1838; married to George W. on November 14, 1854. The lived at Greensfork for many years and removed to Richmond in the spring of 1866. Leaves 3 sons: Edward, George, and Raleight. 2 children died in childhood. Funeral from late residence, 22 N. 14th St. Pall bearers will be the sons and their wives -- Edward and Ione, George and Minnie, and Raleigh and Gertrude.

Richmond Item (Richmond, Indiana), December 18, 1893, p. 4
"The statement that Ed Stigleman had filed an affidavit and petition asking the court to appoint a guardian for his father, G. W. Stigleman, sr., is not true, no such papers having been filed. Mr. Stigleman, it is said, is thoroughly enamored of Mrs. Ed. Warwick, divorced, and the two are determined to marry. Her son is opposed to this step, regarding it as a scheme of the woman to secure control of his father's property. It is probable, however, that nothing will be done to prevent the marriage."

"Stigleman, the photographer, who owes his start in the ways of wealth to a happy combination of glass and balsam of fir, is about putting in another large solar camera which will make a great change in his business. The new camera will be one of the largest ever made, producing pictures of all sizes up to 7 feet across. Howe & Beecher, to whom he sold his patent and who are probably the best workers in a photographic way in the country, will act as his agents, and forward all their enlarging work to him. He expects soon to do little except this class of work in which the money is as plentiful as it is in a gold mine."
