PORTRAIT OF A WEDDING COUPLE IN LYONS, KANSAS

wedding couple

This vintage photograph features a couple posing for their portrait at the studio of E. W. Glazer in Lyons, Kansas. The bride is wearing a pretty two tone gown and holding a bouquet of flowers. The groom is sitting in a wicker chair and wearing a dark suit with a corsage. The reverse of the photograph has the inscription “Otto P.”.  One can assume that this name belonged to the groom seen in the photograph. The photographer, Elijah W. Glaze was born in 1864 in New York. “Wilson’s Photographic Magazine (1898)” reported on Glaze winning an award for his work at the Kansas Photographers Convention. The “Bulletin of Photography (1913) announced that the Glaze Photography studio had ben taken over by W. D. Jones.   SOLD

    Wonder if she was a bride come over from the old country. That dress looks European and tailor made.

    This photo is in an old album that was on my husbands parents farm in Lyons, KS. There is an Otto in the family. Otto Behnke born 1887 in Kansas but his parents were born in Germany as well as his wife.Her parents were born in Pommein Germany. If this is the correct couple, the wife is Meta Almena (Haferman) Behnke. She was born Jan 1888 and died Jan 1970.
