I've "rescued" a group of six photographs belonging to the WALLIS Family of
Essex County, Massachusetts. The photographs are as follows:

1889, in her teens, note "Class of 1889 B. H. S."
2 - Annie Elizabeth WALLIS, taken at the Taylor & Preston Studio in Salem,
MA, age 9 months, born 10 Nov 1871

1895, in her teens, note "Mr. WALLIS, 38 Abeson St."

40's
5 - Seward C. WALLIS, Cross Studio in Salem, MA, dated 1886, in his teens,
notes "High School Picture" and "Class of 1886 B. H. S."

WALLIS and Joanna S. COLE. Seward married Gertrude Manning AVERELL (dau of
