Description

Carte-de-visite believed to be Elizabeth Mary Linskea [1864-1868] - daughter of John B. Linskea and Eleanor Morris. She was baptized on 12 December 1866 at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Uniontown, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Though not necessarily taken on that occasion, the Uniontown photographer stamp coincides with her family being in that community around that time. Original, professional photograph from Hare & Lingo, Morgantown St., Uniontown, Pa. NOTE: The border design and square corners of the CDV were most popular 1864-1869. The fashion and setting support these dates. Eleanor (Morris) Linskea Album, Photo 10.

Notes

The Eleanor (Morris) Linskea Album originally belonged to Eleanor (Morris) Linskea [1835-1889], wife of John B. Linskea, daughter of John Morris and Charlotte Nichols. The carte-de-visite size album is inscribed on the front cover with her name, "Elly A. Linskea." After Eleanor's death at Dixmont State Hospital in Kilbuck Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, the album appears to have passed to her brother, Jonathan Morris Morris [1832-1915], whose descendants have maintained it as part of his family collection. The Elizabeth Jane (Davis) (Rex) Morris Collection was passed from Jonathan Morris Morris [1832-1915] and his wife, Charlotte (Rinehart) Morris [1834-1916], with the ownership of the Morris Bicentennial Farm in Fordyce, Greene Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania, to their son, Jesse Hull Morris [1875-1947], and his wife, Elizabeth Jane (Davis) (Rex) Morris [1879-1980]. Elizabeth added her Davis family heritage to the collection, before passing it to her son, Jonathan Rex Morris [1919-2003], and his wife, Sarah Elaine (Hostetler) Morris [1924-2009], whose children, John Robert Morris and Kathleen (Morris) Miller, owned and shared the collection with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Archives Project in 2023.
