I was floored by the amount of information he sent me. Great stuff!

Thanks, Jerseyman!

This is another one for historians and sharp-eyed readers. It's another glass negative shot about 100 years ago by John B. Capewell of Westville, NJ about 100 years ago, but I have no idea where it was taken.

Capewell traveled some and took his camera with him. I have negatives from as far north as Niagara Falls and as far south as Virginia. This shot is somewhere in between.

This is one of the many family portraits that Capewell shot. I have no idea whether it's his or his wife's family. I'm hoping somebody out there recognizes a relative.

As usual it is very interesting. Hopefully, you will learn more one day about them.

Nice! I like the way you put the text on the boat. The shoes on his brother are interesting. People sure over dressed back then.
