Description / Citation: Carte-de-Visite photograph. This photograph appears twice in the Margaret Leah (Waddell) Baker Collection, but is identified differently each time.

Included in a photograph album that may have once belonged to Permelia (Spencer) Crago [1835-1910] - daughter of William John Spencer & Elizabeth Hedge, daughter-in-law of Thommas Crago & Cassandra Hughes.
