Description
Photograph of Carey Family Home with Family in front
Large photograph in old partially still ornate frame.
Metal wire hanger still connected to back. Cardboard backing on it.
House with ornate porch and balcony. Surrounded by mature trees.
One younger man and younger woman and child standing, rest sitting either on chairs or ground.
The date of the picture is not known. But assuming the old man is Richard Carey, born 1845, and it includes his daughter Eva 1872-1888 and Mary (1884-1972) it would be sometime 1885-1888. Frontier living was tiresome, but if that is Richard Carey he looks very old for 40-45 years old - so might be later and some of the names may not be correct.
