Sumner, photographer, born about 1847, living in Northfield, Rice, Minnesota in 1880.<\/li>\n<li>Ira E. Sumner, living in Northfield, Rice, Minnesota in 1875. Occupations were not recorded on the 1875 Minnesota Census.<\/li>\n<li>Ira E. Sumner, living in Northfield in 1900, occupation listed as a furniture dealer.<\/li>\n<li>Z Roberts in Northfield, Rice, Minnesota in 1875, age 36. Occupations were not recorded on the 1875 Minnesota Census.<\/li>\n<li>Zachariah Roberts in Northfield, Rice, Minnesota in 1865. Occupations were not recorded on the 1865 Minnesota Census.<\/li>\n<li>Z Roberts, photographer on the U.S. IRS Tax Assessment list for District 2, Minnesota, in 1864.<\/li>\n<li>Zachariah Roberts living in Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota in 1885. Occupations were not recorded on the 1865 Minnesota Census.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The style of dress seems to be an 1850s day dress. But based on the above information, it&#8217;s unlikely that this photo was taken in the 1850s. My guess would be the dress is a hand-me-down, and the photo was taken in the late 1860 to mid-1870s.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?<\/p>\n<hr align=\"left\" width=\"90%\" \/>\n<p><strong>Sources <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>1880 U.S. Federal Census<\/i>; Census Place: <i>Northfield, Rice, Minnesota<\/i>; Roll: <i>T9_632<\/i>; Family History Film: <i>1254632<\/i>; Page: <i>272.1000<\/i>; Enumeration District: <i>136<\/i>; Image: <i>0186<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Ancestry.com. <i>Minnesota Territorial and State Censuses, 1849-1905<\/i> [database on-line].
