I've "rescued" an old photograph album which appears to have belonged to
the
HARVISON Family of Nebraska. The album contains many identified
photographs. Based on limited research I was able to locate some
information regarding the family and the people in the album and have
included that information along with descriptions of the photographs. The
photographs included in the album are as follows:
