I'm compiling a directory of Indiana photographers and have a little information about
John W. Ennis, photographer. He was born in about 1843 in Fountain County, IN, and was in
business in Attica as "Chapman & Ennis" in 1866; "Ennis &
Haller" in the 1860s; and as J. W. Ennis in 1871. These are just rough dates, I
don't know when he started in business, but it could have been in the early 1860s.
From about 1877 through the late 1880s he worked in Delphi; in 1882 and 1886 he is listed
in Trafalger (perhaps he had a second studio there); and in 1890 and 1895 he worked in
Lafayette. I'd like to hear from others who can provide specific dates on Ennis or
other photographers who worked in Indiana, 1839-1940. -Indiana Photographers Project
