The album measures approximately 10-1/4" by 8-1/2" and contains 32 photographs, most of them identified on the page they are tucked into and some with added information, such as death dates.  An alphabetical list of the people identified in the album appears at the end of this post.


There are five photographs of people with the surname McCausland, whether birth surname or married name:  Annie McCausland; Charlie McCausland; Ella McCausland - and husband George Henderson; Eva McCausland; and George McCausland.


The next largest group of surnames is Hartt:  Mrs. Hartt; Archie Hartt; and Stella Hartt with Guy Sanderson, tintype shown below.


One of the photographs is a carte de visite of Rev. George Frederick Currie, son of Zebulon Currie and Lavinia (Turney) Currie.  Rev. Currie was born at Fredericton, New Brunswick, in 1844 and died while on a mission to India on July 30, 1886.  His death date is written on the carte de visite.  Read more about Rev. Currie's mission to India here.  

Rev. Currie's photograph shares a page with that of young Edith Currie, who I believe was his niece, daughter of Dr. Thomas Turney Currie.
