GEORGE EASTMAN AT ABOUT AGE 13

ca. 1868

Although George Eastman was going to a good school in Rochester, he stopped going when he was 13 years old. He got a job in an insurance office doing odd jobs. Notice how dressed up he was in this photograph taken when he was a teenager. He was already acting like an adult. Eastman never returned to school and did not graduate from high school.
