This photograph is included in an early-1900s album once owned by George David Jenkins [1868-1936]. Jenkins was elected Waynesburg Borough Engineer in 1900 and oversaw the installation of sewer systems and the brick-paving of roads in town. Jenkins' album follows the progress of the projects, providing an incredible pictorial account of the modernization. The album also includes candids of the Jenkins' family, as well as their friends. On 16 March 1912, Jenkins married Irene Ray [1882-1965], daughter of Hon. Joseph Warren Ray and Henrietta Iams.
