OriginalSource: August 29, 2002, telephone conversation with Jim Shilling:
Stella and her mother (Clara) Klopot ran the Knox studio, while Stella's father took train to North Judson and operated a studio there during the week. He then took train on Friday to Bass Lake where he met them and they operated a studio at Winona. In 2002, the old studio building was occupied by Nyron's Barber Shop (574) 772-6878, at 4 N. Pearl St., Knox. Starke Co. Hist. Soc. has a large collection of Klopot/Bonner photographs and negatives.  Mr. Klopot hanged himself.

Sigmund Klopot moved with his wife Clara and daughter Stella to the area in 1894 from
Chicago. Soon studios were opened at North Judson, Knox and Bass Lake. Later Stella related that the lens was so valuable that they carried it with them from studio to studio. She said they traveled on the 3-I Train from Knox to North Judson every Friday morning, handled business there and then took the Erie Train to Bass Lake for the weekend, at least during the summers. After arriving at the south end of Bass Lake, they would take one of the steam boats around the lake as it dropped tourists off a various hotels. [The online book has a real photo postcard of a horse-drawn buggy in front of a wood frame building with the sign "Bass Lake Studio." No page numbers.]
