Photograph album, approximately 11-1/2" by 9" by 2-1/4", with 30 cabinet photographs that might be related to the Beane, Hovey, Moody, Preble and Varney families of Maine, particularly in Kennebec County and surrounding areas.
The album has a note on an end paper indicating that it came from the Varney estate at Windsor, Maine.
Only two photographs have an identification or partial identification.
The identified photograph is that of 3 year old Sadie Eva Moody, who was presumably Sarah Eva Moody, daughter of William H. Moody and Sarah Eva (Hovey) Moody and future wife of Emery Oliver Beane.
The other image with a partial identification appears to have the name Preble on it. It's an image of a young man presumably named "Frank", taken by the Wilcox studio of Chicago, Illinois, and directed to "Aunt", possibly "Aunt Preble". There's also what appears to be the name "H. R. Preble".
If these names are familiar to you from your research, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
