Tingley Photography Studios

A.J. HADDIX

Mr. HADDIX was the photographer in Tingley for several years. His studio was in operation from at least 1890 (possibly started in the 1880s) until late 1892 when he moved his business to Afton, Iowa.

Photographs produced by Mr. HADDIX are easy to identify on the bottom of the backing included with the photos (see below). At the time, photographs were expensive and only taken on rare occasions.
