Carte-de-visite photograph of Joseph Gladden.
Handwritten inscription on reverse of image reads across the top, "Kate Thompson." This likely indicates that the photograph was given to Catherine (Thompson) Besser, sister of Margaret Virginia (Thompson) Pauley, who owned the album in which the photograph appears. Another inscription down the right side reads, "Joseph Gladen."
Handwritten inscription on album page reads, "Joe Gladden."
