One of Cleveland’s early art benefactors, Jeptha Homer Wade was born in
Romulus, Seneca County, New York, August 11, 1811. He received
instruction during the early 1830’s from the portrait painter Randall
Palmer. He was married to Rebecca Facer in 1832.
After her
early death in 1835, he led a semi-itinerant life, painting portraits
in New York and possibly Louisiana. About 1840, while in Adrian,
Michigan, he branched out into the new field of Daguerreotyping (showing 500 of 1401 characters). |
