Frank B. Walcott, photographer of Berlin, was born in Ripon, Wis., March 15, 1861, and is a son of the Rev. Jeremiah 
W. and Caroline (Cooper) Walcott.  His parents were early settlers of Ripon of 1851.  His father was born in Rhode 
Island, on the 27th of November, 1812, and pursued his literary education in Dartmouth College, from which he was 
graduated.  He then prepared himself for the ministry of the Congregational Church, in the Auburn Theological Seminary, 
and afterward took part in the establishment of Ripon College, of which he was President several years.  His death 
occurred in the summer of 1880.  His wife survives him and finds a pleasant home with her son, Frank, in Berlin.
 
Our subject was educated in Ripon College and made his home in his native city until 1880, when he came to Berlin and 
obtained a position in a photograph gallery of which he became proprietor in February, 1884.  On the 19th of May, of 
the year previous, he was united in marriage with Miss Myra Talbot, the wedding being celebrated in Berlin, in which 
city the lady was born.  Her father, H. G. Talbot, is numbered among its early settlers.  One child graces the union 
of this worthy couple, Helen, who was born in Berlin.
 
Mr. Walcott is a Republican in politics and feels a deep interest in political affairs.  He is proprietor of the oldest 
established gallery in the city and his work ranks foremost among the best of modern photographic art.  He always aims 
to please his customers regardless of the trouble which it causes him and has thus built up an excellent trade.
