The photos on the two "Photos" pages (except
for the reunion photo), and the ones on the two
"UnID Photos" pages are from the album,
pictured on the right, that my Grandmother
Sarah E. "Sadie" Welsher Purkiss had. It is
believed that the album originally belonged to
her Grandmother Sarah Ann Devereaux
Welsher. The album, made of embossed
leather with ornate brass hinges, is a typical of
the period (1860s), These albums were
designed to hold Carte de Visite (CDV)
photographs; CDVs were introduced into the US
in 1859 and became very popular during the
Civil War and into the 1880s. The albums could
also hold the older "tintype" photos, as was the
case with the Welsher album.
