PhotographScope 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
Elwood Glisson (1855-1938) and Amy Ida Glisson (1857-1944)'s parlor in home in West Marlborough, Chester County, PA; Portraits of Amy H. Williams (nee Hall, 1823-1889) and William Williams Sr. (1824-1886), Amy Ida Glisson's parents, are displayed. This home in West Marlborough may be the same home in Chatham, Chester County, PA that Elwood and Amy moved to in 1890. Chatham is in London Grove Township, but closely borders West Marlborough. As of the 1900 census, the two lived in West Marlborough. It is possible that they lived in a section of West Marlborough colloquially referred to as Chatham.Collection
