Postcard of the Cuyler Studio, Indianapolis, Indiana, circa1915

Description: Postcard showing four women sitting on the porch of a house with a sign reading The Cuyler Studio. Postmarked 1915.Lender Evan Finch wrote of this postcard, William B. Cuyler was born in Newmarket, Canada, on March 23, 1846. In 1863, he moved to Attica, Michigan, where he was employed as a sawyer and engineer until 1865, when he became interested in photography. In succeeding years, Cuyler worked as a photographer in Romeo, Michigan; the state of Colorado; Delphi, Indiana; and Greenfield, Indiana.First married to Harriet Woodrow on April 19, 1872, W. B. Cuyler married a second time, on March 16, 1905, to Lucy Madge Burge, in Greenfield, Indiana.Cuylers first wife, Harriet, seems to have then moved to Mount Clemens, Michigan, to live with the family of her daughter, Laurette (Cuyler) Remer.By the time of the 1910 census, Cuyler and his second wife were living in Indianapolis, Indiana. In November 1913, they moved into a house at 1527 College Avenue in Indianapolis, Indiana. Cuylers second wife, Lucy, was born on May 6, 1873. In September 1915, when this postcard was mailed, she would have been 42 years old. Its possible that shes one of the woman on the porch (or those might just be four female customers, waiting to get their pictures taken).W. B. Cuyler seems to have died, in Indianapolis, in March 1925.
