Grahame, Thanks for the pictures you put up. I am trying to find all of them that I can. Just want a record for my Son. I don't know a lot about William Richard's photography but have found out a bit about him. He was born in Canada, Leeds, Ont. in 1834, first of 12 children, to John A. Godkin from Wexford, Ireland. Moved to New York area in 1858, where he began his photography career. My grandfather, Samuel Godkin was born there in 1864. William took pictures during the civil war and one I have seen is of a young man at Ft. Baker. William has his stamp on the back as a "Traveling Photographer" Must have learned how to take and develope his photos at this time. In 1875 he traveled with his family to homestead in the Platte Center area, Burrows Co. Nebr. He and Samuel are listed in the 1880 census at Ft. Robinson. Ephriam sen
