For a directory of Indiana photographers, I am seeking information about Lewis H.
MANDEVILLE (ca. 1827-1905), who worked in Valparaiso (Porter County), Indiana from at
least 1860 through the 1880s. His wife was Sarah. I think he might be the son of Thomas
Mandeville of Orange, New York.
I am seeking birthdate and place, name of wife, parents, children, and any biographical or
gallery information.
Here are my sources:
CENSUS INFORMATION: 1860 Census, Lewis H. Mandeville, b. NY, age 33 (b. ca. 1827)
1880 Census, Valparaiso, Porter County, Indiana:
L. H. Mandeville, photographic artist, age 53, b. NY, parents b. NY
Sarah Mandeville, age 46, b. NY, parents b. NY
ST. LOUIS AND CANADIAN PHOTOGRAPHER, Mar. 1905, p. 144:
Capt. Lew Mandeville, a well-known photographer, died February 7th, at Valparaiso, Ind.,
at the age of 87 years. [b. ca. 1818, this doesn't agree with 1860 and 1880 census]
