I've written about this beautiful book before. It came to me from my cousin, Mary Beth, when she shared so many wonderful family treasures this past Thanksgiving. It was dated December 25, 1903 and had Ethel D. Boyd written into the front cover. Now that's curious to me, as I have always understood her middle name was Adele.
Only a few of these photos had identification on them. So here we go again. . . trying to determine who all these folks are! Below are the photos. If you recognize any of these people in the images, please let me know and I'll add the correct information here.
1.
Top L possibly Letitia Christine Boyd
2.
3. Sisters? Cousins??
4. Amazing christening gown.
5.
Charles Alfred Palme, Aged 22 - 1901
6.
7. - Maybe Ethel Boyd Palme with 2 nieces???
8. - 4 Generation of Palmes9. - Back signed "Justa" - Don't know of a Justa in The Boyd clan?
10.- Is this Dave and Tom Boyd as young men??
11. These small photos were "floating around" inside the album. Some tucked in behind the bigger photos.

20. - More of those "floating photos" I enlarged the back of the baby's photo, but still can't completely make out the writing. Any ideas?
Check out those hats! The guy with the unique head gear shows up in a variety of photos throughout the collection. Any idea who he is? Bottom right - Jessie Boyd
21. & 22. These were on the same cardstock and set into the book together. Maybe husband and wife? Maybe Ethel's grandparents???
