John worked in a sawmill at first, and later he bought the grocery store in Hydesville. The little apartment behind the store was very small - one bedroom, but the family managed to live there until they moved to the "Big House". The car in the above picture is a relatively new Studebaker 4cyl. 1914 model. The little boy standing in front of it is John's son Herman. He was about seven years old then.

You can see a hand-operated gas pump behind the car. Several rounds on the handle pumped out one gallon of gasoline. The double doors on the left side of the building led to a warehouse, which contained fifty pound sacks of flour, 100 pound sacks of sugar, all kinds of hardware from tacks to large hand scythes. Also they had oil in bulk and tires.

Baby John T. Tintype taken about 1872.

Photo from Herman Beaber's family album.

You might wonder why is he wearing a dress. Back in the 1870s this was a common attire for young boys. Children were regarded as asexual beings until Freud's work in the late-19th century changed parents attitudes.
