OriginalNotes: 20th Century Souvenir Edition of the Ossian News. January 1st, 1900, page 73.
Ossian has been most fortunate in her photographic department of business. Although we have no regular photographer, Mr. I. J. Baumgardner, who is probably the best artist of that description in Wells county, makes the town once a week. When it is remembered that he furnished the photographs for the half-tones of this volume, no farther praise or comment is necessary as the quality of his work is easily perceivable by all who are at all judges of art.

Mr. Baumgardner was born in Wadsworth, Ohio, in 1870, and in that city received his education. He began to study photography under Benj. Ashbaucher of Bluffton in 1895, and for several years was that gentleman's most able helper and assistant. For some time previous to his establishing of business for himself he did Mr. Ashbaucher's most difficult work, caring for almost all the Ossian patronage which was then controlled by that gentleman.

In March 1899, Mr. Baumgardner cut loose from the Bluffton firm and established a studio in the town of Markle, and a branch business in Ossian as well. Though Mr. Baumgardner makes Markle his home he does not neglect his Ossian patrons, but comes over regularly, furnishing them with the best work at the most reasonable prices. Amateur photography is quite a fad, but no amateur is able to produce equally good negatives and equally well finished photographs, when his efforts are compared with professional labor. Mr. Baumgardner is a professional and his photographs leave nothing to be desired by even the most fastidious patrons.
