Description

Cabinet card photograph of Eli Gaddis Baily [1865-1966] and his wife, Sarah Agnes (Blair) Baily [1867-1959]. Caption reads, "Agnes Blair Baily & Eli G Baily (a.k.a Eli F. Baily) - brother of J. Ewing Baily." Original, professional photograph from T. W. Rogers, Carmichaels, Pa. Mitchener Album 01, Photo 06. Based on the identified photographs and an inscription that reads, "Album presented to Lee I. Mitchener by F. M. Mitchener," we believe the Mitchener Album originally belonged to Ida Leonis "Lee" Mitchener [1857-1924], daughter of William B. Mitchener and Mary Way. The album passed to Lee's sister Harriet Eldora "Dora" (Mitchener) Baily, whose descendants have preserved it in original order.
