About the Item
Seth Corbett Jones was a member of the Hayden Expedition which explored the Southwest and covered much of the ground now in the national parks. In that vicinity he became familiar with old Spanish scenes, remnants of the early Spanish occupation on the Pacific coast. A painting of the famous Santa Barbara Mission hung at one time in the lobby of the Powers Hotel in Rochester. He was versatile, painting portraits as well as nature scenes. He studied with William B. Holmes and Thomas Moran. In earlier years, Seth was much interested in photography. At one time he traveled all over the US for the Eastman Kodak Company (prior to 1892 known as the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company). His pictures included scenes he had preserved on canvas from many parts of the country. He painted scenes in later life, sketched from the lake regions of Western New York. As a young man he had done some illustrating. Seth married Clara Virginia Cole on 18 September 1879. They were married by the Reverend Dr. Diehl, pastor of the Lutheran Church in Frederick, Maryland. Of his courtship of Clara, he writes,"I was assistant artist and entomologist with the United States Geographical and Topographical Survey of the Territories, of which my uncle, Dr. Ferdinand V. Hayden, was a director. While in Washington in the early1870's I was invited to a reception at the home of General James A. Garfield, then representative in Congress from Ohio, and afterward President of the United States. At this reception I met the two Misses Cole, Clara and Mary, daughters of Charles Edwin Cole, editor of the Maryland Union (Newspaper). I fell in love with Clara Cole and after the girls returned to their home in Frederick a correspondence sprang up between Clara and myself. The result was that I went to Frederick frequently and subsequently married Clara Cole. "Sis" (Mary) was her sister's bridesmaid. I never lived in Frederick but in the years that followed our marriage I made many visits to it and I believe I have painted and sketched about everything of interest in the place, including the Frietchie House. I not only painted almost every possible view of it, but I have also photographed it". Seth and Clara had two children, Mary and Charles. "Charlie" died as a young man at the age of 19. Clara died at age 37 after which Seth married Nellie Holloway. A letter from the Historical Projects Section of the Eastman Kodak Company dated 21 January 1963 to Dr. J.V. Howell who was collecting data on F.V. Hayden who was Seth's uncle, documents that Seth was one of the first salesmen to work for the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company. In the period of 1885 to 1888 he traveled the country demonstrating the Eastman Roll Holder and Roll Film. When the No 1 Kodak Camera was introduced in 1888 he also sold and demonstrated it. He probably left Eastman around 1890.
