Quote:If there is a Baily Photographic Collection, what decades does it cover? What years did he do business in Tamaqua?
There was indeed a David Baily, Photographer in Tamaqua in 1862. Here is the info I found on him:
Tamaqua was in a coal mining region - so there could have been oil there - still checking..... Found that the distance between Titusville, PA where the principle oil fields were located, and Tamaqua, PA is approximately 279 miles - quite a distance in 1862 -
