A Portrait and Biographical Record of Hendricks County (Chicago: A.W. Bowen & Co., 1895)--page 954
George M. Bone, the leading photographer of Danville, Hendricks County, Ind., and the proprietor of the old Craddock gallery, which has been well known for years, was born in Carroll County, Ind., October 4, 1860, and is a son of Andrew Bone, an old settler of Carroll County, now deceased. George M. received his education in the district school, attending until his twenty-fourth year and obtaining a good common education. He learned the photographic art of P. Ganson, a first-class photographer of Logansport, Ind., and began business in Enfield, White County, Ill., where he remained five years and established a good business. In 1888 he married Adaline, daughter of J.D. Wiseheart (deceased), a successful farmer of Putnam County, Ind. Mr. Bone came to Danville, Ind., in October, 1893, and purchased the gallery of J.W. Pendergast, and is now getting his share of the business in this line. Mr. Bone is a skillful artist, enlarges pictures, does hand and crayon and bromide work, and all his work shows the true artist. He is a man of integrity and high-standing, and besides his accomplishments as an artist, is equally accomplished as a gentleman. He and his wife are devoted members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, to which they give their support by every means in their power, and socially, they enjoy to the full the highest regards of their fellow-townsmen. Mr. Bone is an ardent Republican, but has never been an office-seeker, being content with performing his duty to the party by the exercise of his franchise in its favor.
