Kuehn / Miller / Stotz Family Civil War Era Album from Wisconsin


This wonderful red cloth covered album is 4.5" x 5.5" x 2" thick.

As a matter of fact there are 13 tintypes and 10 Carte de Vistas.

My research is not conclusive but from all appearances, this album belonged to Mrs. Bernie F. Miller.


A beautiful tintype shows her and her husband. It’s still in it’s paper holder from Stark, Wisconsin.


Ma, Pa, Mr. Stoltz and Ida Stoltz are all shown in a rare tintype group shot, taken in Tomah, Monroe County, Wisconsin.


Two matching tintypes show Ida Stoltz & Mr. Stoltz. Are these aunt and uncle to Mrs. Miller?


One tintype shows Mrs. William Sommerfield & Millie Hofman in matching dresses and stylish hats.


Arnold Keene and George Keene same photographer photo taken in Norwalk, Wis. (so probably brothers).


A third unnamed photo by the same photographer shows what is probably one of the brothers (or a third one).


And in matching photos taken in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Henery Keene and “Ma’s sister” - same photographer so probably man and wife.


And dramatic photos of William Kuehn and Aunt Kuehn from Tomah, Wisconsin - suggest another aunt and uncle.


And finally a drawing of mustached hero and a 150 year old Valentine.

Stocker, Demuth and Related Families in a Civil War Era Album, from Tuscarawas County, Ohio



This heirloom is the size of most Civil War era albums. The book measures 4 1/4" wide by 5 1/2" long x 3" thick.

All of the pages are filled and many are named. Some simply state "Uncle Lee" or "Uncle Lee's Girl" and do not list the last name, but I checked on-line and found research done by others, that leads me to believe these are mostly from one extended family, from Tuscarawas Co.,Ohio.


It appears that the album was put together by Rebecca Demuth. Rebecca was born 1821. She married Absolom Stocker on 30 Nov 1845 in Ohio. Absalom Stocker b.10 Mar 1814 in Stockertown, Northampton Co., Pa. d. 23 JUL 1885 in Tuscarawas County, Gnadenhutten, Ohio

    Their children were: 1. Sarah Ellen Stocker b:22 Sep 1847 in Gnadenhutten, Ohio.

      2. Mary Catherine Stocker b: 3 Mar 1850 in Tuscarawas County, Ohio

        3. Josephine Stocker b: 23 MAY 1852 in Gnadenhutten, Ohio 

          4. George Franklin Stocker b: 1 Nov 1854 in Gnadenhutten, Ohio

            5. Maria Amelia Stocker b: 3 Dec 1856 in Gnadenhutten,Ohio

              6. Eliza Almeda Stocker b: 29 Dec 1858 in Gnadenhutten, Ohio

May Wm. H. Polleys/Woodcock Album from State Normal College

at Albany, New York, San Francisco and Stockton, California.


This photo album is completely full of 40 carte-de-visites portraits.

This album is covered with brown leather and the binding is nice and tight.


Inserted into the album is a presentation in calligraphy that reads

Presented To May Wm. H. Polleys By her Brother T. F. Woodcock.

Written on another loose piece of paper is 1118 South 6th. St East side.

It appears that whoever put this album together was very organized

because there are three distinct periods to their life.


The first group of 9 pictures appear to be from the album owners

college days in Albany, New York. It was State Normal College

at Albany. All 9 photos were taken by the same photographer and at least

one of the pictures refers to the Class of 77. On-line I found a list of students

from 1877, which included all of these students names. Several of the

students have signed the backs of their pictures and names include:


Lucie G. Adams - Handen, Del. (listed just that way)


Fannie E. Best - Niverville, Columbia County, New York (listed just that way)


Helen M. Whedon, (listed just that way plus West Paulet, Washington)


J. H. Potter - Hartwick, Otsego County, New York (listed as Julius )


and staff members Fanny Hubbard and a distinguished male professor.


The next group of 7 pictures are all from Stockton, California.

Including Mary Moore.


The rest of the 24 pictures are all from San Francisco.


Names on these pictures:


George West,


Jacob Johnson,


Mona Polleys Green,


Addie Brooks,


Sister Tucker & Miles Tucker,


and Marian Hart.


NOTE: A kind researcher sent us:

  William H. Polleys, born about 1828 in Nova Scotia, Canada.

    He married Dorothy Woodcock, about 1853, born about 1833 in Maine.

Hesseltine - Weed Tintype Photo Album



I love albums like this. The previous owner wrote what she recalled about nearly every photo.

Not only are people identified but there is genealogical information given freely.

Relationships, ancestry and even history of the surname changes.

That is the beauty of finding an all tintype album.

The photos look like they could have been taken yesterday, except for the outrageous fashions.


The names in this album include:


William Weed - "Grandfather of Elizabeth Weed Hesseltine & of Pearl Hesseltine Davis",


Nellie (Ellen?) Hesseltine Bullis & George Edward Hesseltine -

 "Their father Walter Hesseltine was born in England in County of Kent"

Charles Hesseltine "cousin of George Edward (Hesseltine)


James Herbert (Hesseltine) & Nellie Hesseltine Bullis

The Jane Young Gem Tintype Miniatures Album

The Dean Family and associated Durland and Rodormer families.

The photos follow the family from Sweden to Illinois.   


Julia Ann Dorland married Jonathan Passell Dean and her sister Electra Durland married Daniel Rodormer.

This album was made by them.

This lovely brown album has both decorative clasps and measures 6” x 8” x 2.5” thick.   It was arraigned to show

2 photos side-by-side and no photo behind them so the viewer can read the names on the back of each photo.

The dedication on the cover shows that George B. Dean, (son of Julia and Jonathan P. Dean) transferred the album to his son, Frank Dean in 1927, just before he passed away.

It features 27 CDV photos and a tintype in excellent condition. They appear to be from 1860 - 1870.


The first two photos show young ladies and they were taken in Karlskrona, Sweden and Stockholm, Sweden. I assume these are ancestors from the old country.


The other photographs showed the following names:  


A very early photo of Albert son of Levi Sanford which used to have a Civil War stamp on the back. 


Robert Rhodarmer & wife - Robert a son of Daniel and Electra Durland Rhodarmer in a photo taken at Galesburg, Illinois

Gem-Sized Tintype Photo Albums that did not Survive the Civil War



 Gem-Sized Tintype Photo Albums were made to be carried by the soldiers into battle in the Civil War.   Unfortunately,

the soldier did not always survive and neither did the photo album.  After the horrific battles, tiny albums with

Thumb-Nail or Gem-Sized Tintypes were found.  The soldiers hoped to bring the photos home to the families. 

With new technology, we are hoping to help them finish that task. Fortunately, these eleven gem sized tintypes

pages survived. All of them are identified. Our photo dating expert places these photos in the 1860's.


The first album had fleur-de-lis trim.
Those names include:


Ella and Edgar Frost

  NOTE Research shows:

  Edgar Almon Frost was born on April 7, 1857, in Woodbridge, Michigan.

    His father, Henry, 37 and his mother, Caroline, 29. He married Florence Ella Andrews on April 20, 1880.

      They had five children in 16 years.

Henry Smith Kelley thumbnail tintype album from 1865 W. Amesbury, Massachusetts



This tiny red leather album measures about 2.5" x 1.5" but it is the best documented family album I have ever

had the pleasure to see. It holds 48 images of ancestors of Dr. Richard Edward Kelly of Williamsville, New York.   

He added a note in 1975 that this photo album belonged to his second great uncle Henry Smith Kelly 1849-1916

 W. Amesbury, Massachusetts, and that most of the writing in the album was of his great grandmother,

Harriet Louise (Thorn) Kelly 1860-1943, an ardent family historian.
