Scope and Content

This photograph collection primarily consists of the Hall and Williams family and their extended relations of Chester County, Pennsylvania. At some point in the 20th century the family and photographs extend to Meadville of Crawford County, Pennsylvania.

Context

Photograph of (left to right) Amy Ida Williams Glisson (1857-1944), George Williams, Lulu Mabel Hall (1863-1937), and Mary Williams in Elwood Glisson (1855-1938) and Amy Ida Glisson’s yard at Chatham. It is possible that Mary Williams is Amy Ida Glisson's sister-in-law Mary V. Edwards (1852-1937), wife of Thomas H. Williams (1852-1903), and George Williams is her son George E. Williams (1885-1968). Elwood and Amy Ida Glisson moved to this home and farm in Chatham, Chester County, PA on March 25, 1890.
