    Photographer Information:
    The mastermind behind Genelli portraiture was Melzar Whittlesey "M.W." Starks. Born in Bradford Township/Lee County, Illinois on December 16, 1851, he was the on of Charles and Rachel (Hulbert) Starks. By the age of 21, he became a photographer apprentice in St. Louis, Missouri, and shortly thereafter opened a gallery in collaboration with the Hulbert Brothers (apparently relatives on his mother's side), known as Genelli. Located on 923 Olive Street, Genelli quickly distinguished itself as the finest portrait studio in Missouri.
    In 1883, Mr. Starks moved to Sioux City, Iowa, and opened a Genelli gallery at 607 Fourth Street. Meanwhile, the Hulbert Brothers remained in St. Louis, focusing primarily upon retouching negatives and finishing prints until that business was dissolved in 1898. One year after his relocation, Mr. Starks married Harriett Isabella "Hattie" Harvey, and three years later they had their only child, son Henry Harvey.
