The first reported photographer to appear in Wooster, Ohio was Dr. Theodatus A. Garlick from Cleveland, Ohio who brought his homemade daguerreotype camera to town and set up in the old U.S. Hall for a couple of days to show and sell his "daguerreotype drawings" and performances of "Nature's Pencil".[1]
