Description

Charcoal enlargement portrait of Josiah Sayers - father of Mary (Sayers) Mason. A note card framed with the portrait provides the identification and provenance. Lew Sayers gave the card and portrait to Charlotte (Mason) Scott on 4 September 1898. The note reads, "Sept. 4, 1898. / This picture, Josiah Sayers, is / a present to Mrs. Capt. John Scott / by Lew Sayers. Josiah is the Grand / father of Mrs. Scott. He was an old respected citizen of Greene Co., / until his late years he moved to Morrow / Co., Ohio; where he died about fifty / years ago, aged 94 years." The portrait is likely a reproduction of an 1840s-1850s era daguerreotype.
