Title	Salt Lake City, Utah. Group Portrait
Creator	Fox and Symons;
Date Created	1896 September
Description	Group portrait taken at Salt Lake City, Utah.Top row: John I. Jones, left; E.H. Ober, right. Bottom row: Pat Cuddigan, left; W. C. Stains (sic), right. Inscribed on the front of the photograph is the date 1896. On the back of the cabinet card in pencil are the names W. C. Stains (sic), Pat Cuddigan, John I. Jones, and E. H. Ober. Also inscribed is the information that the photograph was "taken in Salt Lake Sept--1896." Written in pen over the inscription in pencil is the following: "Pat Cudding (sic) + J. I. Jones, Bill Stain, & E. H. Ober." An accompanying grocer's grocer's ticket has the following inscription: "Top row 1896 J (sic) I (sic) Jones Ed Ober Pat Cuddigan Bill Stains." Printed on Aristo paper. Title supplied by cataloger.
Historical Background	Ed (E. H.) Ober lived Big Pine, California, of the Owens Valley. Voter registration lists from Inyo County record an Edwin H. Ober as a game warden in Big Pine, California, in 1922, and in 1926 his profession is given as "fish culture." He disappears from the voting lists after 1926. Biographical information for the other persons in the portrait is lacking, except for W. C. Stains (sic), who may have been related to the Mormon pioneer William C. Staines. Polk's Directory for Salt Lake City in 1897 lists a William C. Staines who was a car operator, and another who was president of the Can Springs Consolidated Gold Mining company. Fox and Symons was the studio of Alexander Fox (d. 1882) and Charles Symons (d. 1934), located at 322 South Main Street. Salt Lake City, Utah. After the death of his partner, Symons continued to use the name "Fox and Symons" until 1883, according to Carl Mautz, Biographies of Western Photographers (Carl Mautz Publishing, 1997), 487-488. If the date of this photograph is correct, then Symons continued to use the name until the 1890s.
