ODA DILLMANN
IDENTIFICATION ON PHOTO: "Oda Dillmann"
PHOTO TAKEN: Dickinson Studio, Hamilton OH, circa 1895
PURCHASED: 2014 somewhere in upstate New York
The Dickinson Studio was the business of Frank L. Dickinson, who moved his photography business from Cincinnati to Hamilton around 1892 and was located above the First National Bank for 12 years, at which time he purchased a large and elegant brick residence where his customers would have access to a large ground-floor studio.
The clothing and hairstyle in this portrait look appropriate for around 1895. Oda appears to be around 18-20, so a good target birth year would be circa 1875-77.
On a cursory glance at Ancestry and Newspaper Archives, I cannot find any person of this name. It is possible that whoever wrote it on the back may have misspelled one or the other name.
