The album was presumably owned by one of Charles' children.
A previous owner of the album removed the photographs but fortunately retained any identifications that appeared on the page below where the photographs were tucked in, as you can see in the photograph of Thomas William Barber (1875-1952), shown at top.
Not all of Charles' children followed him to Vermont; his father, a sister and other children stayed in England.
