George W. Weiser (1825-1903) established and owned Weiser Photographic Studio in Knoxville, Tennessee, around 1890. Mr. Weiser started as a photographer in Steubenville, Ohio, between 1850-1860. He and his family moved to Orange County, Florida, around 1880, and Mr. Weems worked as a photographer there for nearly a decade. It is unknown whether he operated a studio or worked for another photographer during this time. The Weiser family then moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, around 1889. Mr. Weiser opened Weiser Photographic Studio in 1890, eventually opening a second location. Both of his daughters, Alice Patton and Anna Barbara, are listed as photographers for the studio in city directories, and they inherited the business upon Mr. Weiser's death in 1903. |
