<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 50823, member: 44&quot;]Here are pictures dating 1860-1870s. They were all taken at their respective homes by probably an itinerant photograph - a traveling man. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; The girls are a few of my grandmother&#039;s 1st cousins - their father&#039;s were brothers. These particular cousins were all older than her. Interesting to see their clothing and the lack of props.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. CDV c1865. This girl was born in 1863 and died in 1869. I suspect this pic might be a copy of a tintype that her parents had copied after her death.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]12816[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>2. Tintype c1875. This girl was a sister of the the previous one, #1. She was born in 1867.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]12815[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>3. Tintype 1873. This is one of my favorite pics. This girl (1871-1968) was a dear cousin of my grandmother; a college graduate; school teacher, librarian, and author of several genealogy related books; loaned my mother money for college tuition during the depression; spent a couple weeks at our home during the summers when I was young; and lived to the age of 97. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]12814[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>4. CDV c1875. These 2 girls, sisters, are siting on the ground by the side of their house. The one on our left is the same as the one previous, #3. Note her dress or at least parts of it like the jacket and bodice look the same in both pictures. Both were dear cousins of my grandmother. My grandmother and grandfather were married in the home of the oldest girl, on the right, in Norwich, CT 1908.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]12813[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
