Re: Fraser Bros., Lebanon, Boone County, Indiana
My database of photographers is not complete, but I have the following information about the Fraser Gallery in Lebanon:
1891: Jas. A. Schroy sold photography business to F. J. Fraser in 1891.
1895: 1895-96 Polk's Ind. State Gazetteer & Business Directory, p. 985 (Joseph Fraser, photographer)
1900: The address for Fraser & Schmock Gallery in 1900-1901 city directory was listed as 110 1/2 N. Lebanon Ave.
1905: Fraser Gallery listed in 1905 at 115 E. Main St.
1910: By the 1910 census Joseph Fraser was a blacksmith in Bargersville, Johnson Co., Ind.
If anyone else has specific information, or knows the names of the brother, please post it here. Thanks!

Re: Fraser Bros., Lebanon, Boone County, Indiana
Thank you for the reply and information. The photograph I have seems to be older than 1890-1900, but it's possible it was a copy that was made about that time, or maybe, since you don't have information showing "Fraser Bros." there might have been an earlier business by that name. Thanks again.
