AUDIT ROW #356 · PRINTED AS UNFINISHED, NEVER COMPLETED BY GUESS
George D. Ewing, photographer — in the owners roster's span, 1877–1900; in the directories, Polk's 1882–83 and 1884–85 lines. Maurice D. Fitzgerald, photographer — Polk's 1916–17 line. That is the whole of it, and this entry exists to keep it whole. The checklist's discipline for such names is that they be printed as open entries — present, dated, and visibly unfinished — rather than completed by inference: no birth or death dates are attached to either man here, no studio address, no family, no end, because none stands in the record reached. Their openings are named so a future pass can close them: the consecutive-directory run (Ewing's true span and any successor), the census and vital record under both names (identity and dates), and the society's plate holdings (their work, if it survives, is the strongest evidence either man ever stood here). Until those are read, this section's two men stand as the record left them: two lines in two directories, thirty years apart, comprising the whole documented photographic trade of a town.
