WEITFLE EXHIBIT   |   OTHER CATALOGS

"Charles Weitfle (1836-1921), came to the United States [from Germany] at age 13. He served as a photographer for the Union Army. In 1878, he established a studio in Central City, Colorado and later had a studio in Denver. In 1883, his Denver Studio burned, destroying approximately 1,000 plates. He then established a tent studio in Cheyenne and also maintain a studio in Rawlins. About 1887-1889, Weitfle moved to Granite County, Montana and later to Phillipsburg. His son, Paul Weitfle, was also a photographer in Colorado and New Mexico, but the two were estranged." [Information from Paul Weitfle III concerning his great-grandfather.]
