Description

One small black paper album with 55 black and white photographs and 2 newspaper clippings. Photographs are small (mostly 2 ½ x 4 1/8”). Album of people, family groups, automobiles, pets, sailboats, and horse drawn carriages. Mostly unidentified but there are some pencil markings on the back of loose photos identifying Sedgwick, Sed's father, Barbara's home, and a cabinet photo of Alice Welch Kellogg.

A photograph marked "Clara" is in the album dated 1973. Possibly Clara Nisbet. One negative of couple sitting on a couch removed to folder.
