It is an interesting coincidence to note that he lived on Van Buren Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Van Buren Street, in Monterey, CA. Barker was in his early 70's when he moved to Monterey as we first find him listed in the 1907 Monterey city directory. He continued his work as a Commercial Photographer up into the mid teens. Monterey had a number of other photographers at that time from R. J. Arnold, A. C. Heidrick, F. C. Swain, H. G. Webb, Gunzendorfer, Dan Freeman, C. B. Toombs and J. K. Oliver. |
