I have new information about J. Fred Hartsook who is in your list of early Grant Co., IN photographers.  You have him listed as John H. Hartsooks son, but according to all records I've found, John did not have a son, only a daughter, Florence, who worked here at the Marion Public Library.  However, John had a brother James who did have a son, John F. Hartsook.
