| Description |
Edward A. Shoemaker, born in 1848 in Pennsylvania to German immigrants, was a lithographer and printer active in Philadelphia
from 1868 until his death in 1893. Son of Philadelphia lithographer and engraver John G. Shoemaker who worked for P. S. Duval
in the late 1850s, he may also have worked for Duval. Unfortunately, city directories never listed Shoemaker's business address
although he was consistently identified as a lithographer or printer until 1890.

Shoemaker resided in his father's household with his mother Wilhelmina (b. ca. 1821), her sister, and his two siblings, photographer
William C. (b. ca. 1844) and Sophia (b. ca. 1845), until about 1872. He moved to 1531 North Ninth Street with his wife Emma
(b. ca. 1853) and had three children John (b. 1875), Emma (b. 1878), and William (b. 1879) by 1880. The family moved twice
within the city in the late 1880s, and finally moved out of the city to Lansdale by 1893, the year Shoemaker passed away at
the age of 45.
