Creator Note

Charles Beebe Turrill was born on March 26, 1854, in Folsom, California, and died in San Francisco, on May 11, 1927. He practiced as an amateur photographer for twenty years before establishing the professional firm of Turrill & Miller Photographers circa 1900. The firm's studio would eventually be located in Turrill's home, at 57 Sanchez Street in San Francisco. There is not much known about Charles O. Miller, who partnered with Charles Beebe Turrill to create Turrill & Miller Photographers at the turn of the century. We know that Miller was born in February 1876, and sources indicate that he was a bachelor and lived with Turrill between 1910 and 1920. There is no listing for him in the 1930 U.S. Census.
