Hi,
Hadden's History of Uniontown lists one E.A. Lingo. On p. 176 he writes:
E.A. Lingo and Thomas Hare purchased the western corner of this lot [Col.
Roberts Bldg on W. Main St. and Arch] soon after the fire[1868], and erected a
photograph gallery thereon, upon the completion of which they moved their
gallery from a small building on Morgantown Street. Mr. Lingo soon purchased
the interest of his partner. . . . native of Cumberland, and located in
Uniontown in 1866, and carried on the photograph business until 1901. . . .

Mark was 100% correct!

BTW, there's a list in Hadden of "Daguerrian Artists, Ambrotypists and
Photographers --- Oscar Lane, Ezra M. Stanton, Mr. Purviance, Mr. McMasters,
William K. Cooper, George L. West, Thomas Hare, E.A. Lingo, and James Hadden
[author of this book].

Regards,
Jane
