Notes

The Various Series photographs of the Margaret Leah (Waddell) Baker Collection represent several families, as well as friends, schools, and organizations. Perhaps as many as six generations are displayed from the 1840s to the 1930s, each generation having added to the collection with photographs from their own family and social ties. The photographs were passed from Louis Morton Waddell, Jr. [1900-1963] and his wife, Leah Abigail Crago [1902-1962], to their daughter Margaret Leah (Waddell) Baker who owned and shared the photographs with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Archives Project between 2006 and 2008.
