I am not sure of the date of either of these photos, except that it's possibly after her 1866 marriage to Samuel Sewall Greeley. I wonder what book she holds open in the photo below?

Whose handwriting is on the back of these photographs? Possibly that of Samuel Sewall Greeley.
Ah, there are pics of Eliza! Very cool. She was quite pretty.
ReplyDeleteTo me, she looks like a friendly person whom I would have liked to get to know. Thanks for reading and commenting.
DeleteI think she looks friendly. At first glance she reminds me of a young Natalie Portman, who fits the friendly personality. Such amazing photos. What a great treasure. Plus you have them digitized to preserve them as well.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, I have quite a few photographs from this branch of my family - many are photographs of photographs, so there must be other cousins out there who have copies too. I'm glad this family treasured these enough to make the copies for descendants!
