More photos? YES! Thanks to researcher Jeanne Maxi we have some very old photos of Matthew Pryor Jr.’s line. Jeanne is in possession of a photo album that was once owned by Matthew Jr.’s daughter Eliza A. Pryor who was born in Marion County in about 1837. Eliza married Carl Biese.
Enscribed in the album: “Grandma Biese’s photo album before she married Grandpa in 1874 – so this book is at least 100 years old – Mother.” [written in pencil] and “This was a step-grandmother but the only one I ever knew – Dad’s own mother died of yellow fever in 1873. Her name was Harriett Narcissa McDonald before she married Grandpa” [written in ink].
There are almost 30 wonderful photos and we need your help to ID these even if it’s to ID when the photographer was active in the area. Can you ID the era from clothing or accessories?
