Drypigment.net: While researching the life and career of Joseph C. Blaine, I stumbled across an 1885 newspaper article in the “Chicago Tribune.” The article made me both celebrate and curse. On Aug 2, 1885, the “Chicago Tribune” published a list of Sosman & Landis employees who contributed to the Grant Memorial Fund. This meant that I had to track down at least thirteen more individuals to include in the Sosman & Landis staff. That number immediately increased to fourteen, as George W. Dayton, could have been either the father or son; both were journeyman scenic artists, working in Chicago at the same time.
