Ephemera
- Scope and content:
-
Series 3: Ephemera, 1872, 1907, includes two Thompson family photographs and a newspaper clipping from the December 19, 1907 Harrisonburg Daily Times.
One photograph, taken by Jas. O. A. Clary's Palace of Photography in Harrisonburg, depicts Benjamin F. Thompson on November 18, 1872. The verso is inscribed with the following: "No. 18th 1872. Age 23 y 6 m 8 d. B. F. Y." The identity of the person in the second photograph is likely Clarissa Moubray Thompson based on the genealogical clues provided in the inscription: "Joseph Thompson wife. My great grand mother. Mary A. Thompson." This photograph was also taken by Jas. O. A. Clary.
The newspaper clipping is the full front page of the December 19, 1907 issue of the Harrisonburg Daily Times.
