Montgomery County Illinois History

Early Montgomery County Photographers
The Historical Society has an incredible early photo collection documenting the history of Montgomery County thanks in part to these photographers:
 
Ninian A. Robison (Hillsboro) - Photos signed as N.A. Robison or Robison
Ninian died in 1873. If the photo was taken after that, the photo was taken by his wife Catherine.
