OriginalNotes: Hagerstown Exponent, 23 July 1908, p. 3: article about birthday party of Mrs. Fannie Williams. "Alonzo Williams of New Castle photographed the group." [This supports the theory that Alonzo M. Williams was the same A. M. Williams with the photo car.]

Possibly this person - So far I've found no evidence that Alonzo Maxwell Williams was a photographer, but it appears that he had this profession between census years (1900 and 1910)
