Baby In Staunton, Illinois - Awestruck!
Cabinet card by John Coerver, Staunton, Illinois, 1890's. Photographer John Coerver was born in Staunton, Macoupin County, Illinois, January 1, 1869. He was the son of John Coerver, Sr., and his wife, Matilda Gardner. He married Catherine M. Helfrich, October 15, 1895, in Evansville, Indiana. They became parents of five children. John N. Coerver died November 2, 1935, in Staunton, Illinois.
I do not belive that John Coerver was a full time photographer, but instead practiced photography as a sideline. He is always listed as a barber, in census records and other sources, as was his father, John Coerver, Sr. A cabinet card wedding photo of John N. Coerver and his wife Catherine, appears on Ancestry.com, and also carries his photograper's mark. It would have been taken in 1895.
