A Springfield-area Family Album

[Album]

History

This lovely album has a broken spine, but its pages are intact. Many of the photos are identified by the creator in ink underneath the photo on the album page. Originally, I bought the album for one photo that I recognized was a Mount Holyoke alumna, but once I finished researching the names, I found connections to eight Mount Holyoke alumnae! (Thank goodness for the extended inscription on the last photo in the album, which opened the door.)

The photos are displayed here in the order in which they appeared in the album. I also created a family tree so that you can see the relationships between many of the people in these photos.

Family tree (caution: large!)
Some siblings are omitted from the family tree if they had no photos in the album. I believe the album was compiled by Alfred T. Jones, since the creator describes several relatives as "aunt" and "uncle" and there are more photos of Alfred in the album than anyone else.
