Marie Kendall

American, 1854 - 1943
BiographyMarie Hartig was born in 1854 in Alsace Lorraine, the daughter of a French mother and a German father. She emigrated to the United States in 1872 with her siblings. By 1880, she was married to Dr. John C. Kendall of Norfolk, Connecticut, and two of her sisters, Anna and Lydia and were part of the household. Marie Hartig Kendall was a talented photographer, who took artistic views of the countryside of northwestern Connecticut, particularly the area around Norfolk. Some of these images were issued as postcard sets and some were used as publicity by the New Haven Railroad. These works were always signed "Mrs. J. C. Kendall."
