Description

This Carte-de-Visite photograph is a reproduction of an earlier image of Susan Jane (Blakely) Munnell [1824-1866] - first wife of John Munnell, daughter of James Blakely & Jane Wilson. The original was probably a daguerreotype photograph taken in the early 1850s. The Carte-de-Visite photograph reproduction was created by A. Wallace, Artist, Waynesburg, Pa. There is a 2 cent tax stamp on the back side indicating that the photo dates to the Civil War, probably between 1 August 1864 and 1 March 1865 during the time when a tax stamp higher than one cent was used.

Notes

The photograph is included in an album that, based on personalized inscriptions on several photographs, most likely belonged to the family of John Munnell [1826-1889] and his second wife, Mary (McFerran) Munnell [1836-1910]. The album was probably donated by Mary Inghram (Munnell) Rinehart [1898-1986], John Munnell's granddaughter by his first marriage with Susan Jane Blakely, to the Greene County Historical Society (918 Rolling Meadows Road, P.O. Box 127; Waynesburg, Pennsylvania 15370). Researched and digitized for the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Archives Project, between 2005 and 2011.
