The reference to "H. O. Reichert ..."
"From H. O. Reichert's Star Art Gallery, Photographer...
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., age 08
1860 Frankfort, Clinton Co., Indiana Census: (At home with parents [Pump Maker] and
siblings)
Heichert, Henry O., age 19, "Painter"
1870 Frankfort, Jackson Twp., Clinton Co., Indiana Census: (Head of house with wife and
child)
Heichert, H. O., age 29, "Artist"
1880 Frankfort, Dist 18, Clinton Co., Indiana Census: (Head of house with wife and
children)
Heichert, Oscar, age 39, "Photographer"
Hope this helps.
