    2. Section 2: Negatives 500-1083, tipped in page: 1130-1139, [illegible or absent numbering, 1116-1129, 1140-1156], 1084-1115, 1157-6160 listed by negative number, c. 1909-1915.

      • P 17-p 194 Columns of data. Generally includes a negative number, a short description of subject or person ordering, location, occasional remarks on subject or (rarely) date or size of print ordered, and the name or initials of the photographer. Contents vary significantly.
      • Earlier entries tend to have the subject described in the second field while entries recorded as between 1910 and 1912 record a name (assumed to be the person ordering the photo), and the subject is sometimes described in a column before the photographer’s initials. Early entries also are all in the same hand and a few photos are slightly out of chronological order, so these may have been entered at the same time, well after the negatives were made. Entries noted as “copyright date” probably have this phrase on the negative.
      • Negatives 14-499 have no information. Pages 75-76 missing, however, the negative numbering is continuous between pages 74 and 77, so this page must have been extracted before use. Page 35b has no numbers.
      • Locations: chiefly Ft. Pierce, St. Lucie, Stuart, Jensen, Gomez, Jupiter, Hobe Sound, and surrounding region. Other locations include Long Key, Okeechobee, Roseland, Palm Beach, Everglades, Eau Gallie, Georgiana, Indianola, Bassenger, Vero, and other Florida towns. A few negatives are associated with non-Florida locations.
      • Photographers: FGH or FH (Fred Hill); HEH or HH (Harry Hill); Lowell, LG, or LGH (Lowell Hill); Moss (R. Lockwood Moss), ATW (A.T. Weaver), JMB (J. M. Bonner), GWM, Conway, Miller
