folks call me "A. D.", was born on 4 April,1834 in Deerfield, Warren Co., Ohio .   I married Mary Ann Lundy. At the time I was finishing my apprenticeship under the famous daguerreotypist Wm. S. Porter.   For the next several years I traveled through the South, sometimes accompanied by my family. It was in Baton Rouge that my 2 yr old son, A.D. Jr., took sick and died. Mary and I couldn't bear the thought of leaving him and so we settled there. Business was good, it was an exciting time - talk of secesh, conventions and all manner of militias forming. The War came and I managed to smuggle photographic supplies through Union lines disguised as medical supplies. I took photographs of Union positions from church steeples and turned them over to the Rebs.
