The reference to "H. O. Reichert ..."
"From H. O. Reichert's Star Art Gallery, Photographer, And
Dealer in
Albums, Stereoscopes and Views, Chromos and _______ of all kinds,
Mouldings, Square and Oval Frames. Particular Attention Paid to Copying
and Enlarging, finishing in [In]dia Ink, Water or Oil Colors. Coulter's
New Brick Frankfort, Ind."
Turns out to be ""H. O. Heichert"
Looking at advertisements on page 101 of the 1878 Clinton County, Indiana
Atlas we find this small ad:
"H. O. Heichert, Artist and Photographer, Frames in Variety, Particular
Attention paid to Copying Old Pictures to any size, and Finishing in Crayon,
India Ink or Water Colors, Cohee Block, South Side Square, Frankfort,
Indiana"
Tracing the family in census returns we find:
1850 Henry Co., Henry Twp., Indiana Census: (At home with parents [Farmer]
and siblings)
Heichert, Henry O., 08
1860 Frankfort, Clinton Co., Indiana Census: (At home with parents [Pump
Maker] and siblings)

Heichert, H. O., 29, "Artist"
1880 Frankfort, Dist 18, Clinton Co., Indiana Census: (Head of house with
wife and children)
Heichert, Oscar, 39, "Photographer"
Hope this helps.
