Scope and Contents

One photo album (2 3/4 in. x 5 in.) dated 1 April 1870, owned by Lewis Haymond (date and name inscribed), including twenty-one portrait photographs of friends and West Virginia University students. Seven of the photographs are tintypes, and the other fourteen are carte de visite or CDV sized images. Twelve CDVs were produced by Morgantown photographer J.P. Shafer. Some of the subjects in the photographs are identified.

Names appear on 2 of the 7 tintypes, including:

S.S. Adams, Border, S.E. Christy, Edmiston, Haymond, Knox, Spates, Woods

Names appear on 6 of the 14 CDVs, including:

Billinger, Combs, Edmiston, Glass, Haymond, D. McCleave, Osgood, Ryon, Jesse D. Woods

Some of these names appear in the 1903 publication "Alumni Record, West Virginia University", edited by Waitman Barbe. The "S.S. Adams" on a tintype in this collection, for example, appears to be "Samuel Shugert Adams" of the class of 1875 in the "Alumni Record" (see page 64).
