Wylie Kenyon was my great great grandfather and Mary O'Neall (note the TWO 'L"s). Indeed he was an early photographer. His life seems to have been quite varied. I don't have the entire bio at hand right here. He was born in Indiana to a James B. Kenyon. Among other things, he went on the Oregon Trail a couple of times, was the first mayor of Salem, Oregon, tried his hand at inventing, married my great great grandmother Mary after his first wife died, and apparently ended up doing odd jobs at Wabash (my own alma mater) late in life. He also built furniture -- two examples of which are over at Lane Place.

Aug. 1868, Mr. W. Kenyon, Crawfordsville, has sent some pictures which are new and novel. A series of vignettes (or a single one) are printed on a sheet, and around them a delicate tint relived by white scroll work, giving a very pretty effect. Mr. Kenyon wishes our subscribers to guess how it is done. We should guess, by double printing from a paper neg. after the portraits are printed.
Nov. 1868, critique of 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 negatives and prints by W. Kenyon, Crawfordsville.
