"Samuel Haymond Garner, the well-known photographer, with a studio at Kingwood, was born February 22, 1881. He was reared on the farm and educated at the Pleasant Dale schools, and then worked for different persons, in different kinds of business, until he began for himself. The science of photography appealed to him, nor has he missed his calling in this profession. With a natural taste for scenic beauty, Mr. Garner first worked for D. 0.

He located in Kingwood, Nov. 22, 1904, having purchased the gallery outfit complete of his predecessor, and then added to the original purchase as needed. He now has as well an equipped studio as can be found outside of the largest cities. His outdoor work is remarkable for its freshness and vigor, while his portrait reproductions are unexcelled. He has photographed for the History of Preston County, and his work is equal to any found in any other work of its kind anywhere. Some of the reproductions from Mr. Garner's photographs are views of the Morgantown & Kingwood Railroad published in this history.
