Morgantown, WV Sept. 6--Lemuel Ellsworth Friend, 71, pioneer photographer and resident of Morgantown since 1902, died today at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Benjamin G. Reeder, Logan Ave.
Previous to setting up business here, Mr. Friend had maintained studios in Toronto, Canada, Grafton, Birmingham, Oklahoma, Nashville, Tennessee, Washington DC, and Philadelphia, PA.
Lemuel Ellsworth Friend was born in Altamont, Garrett County, MD, Nov 24, 1861, a son of the late Rev. Henry E.

Mr. Friend was also a lover of the outdoors. He liked to fish and was known as an active worker in the cause of forest and game conservation.
