Description / Citation: Handwritten
inscription on back of photograph reads, "Pap and Mother." Original, professional
photograph from Williams, Artist, Greensboro, PA. The Album 1 Series photographs
are in a large photograph album which contains many unidentified images
believed to be connected to the Coughanour family and including Hamilton,
Woods, Yohe, and possibly Jones, relations. An inscription inside the front
cover reads, “Presented to Grandpap / By / Bulger & Snider / Dec. 25,
1887.” Several handwritten inscriptions and a handful of funeral cards
specifically name the Elliott, Hamilton, Miller, Woods and Yohe families.
It is possible that the album may have passed from Hester (Coughanour)
Yohe [1858-1938] to the family of her elder sister Alice (Coughanour) Woods
[1849-1926] and brother-in-law Dr. Samuel D. Woods [1848-1930], with whom
she lived out her last years. The album in combination with the additional
contents of the James A. Boyer Collection was recovered from the home of
Dr. Samuel D. Woods [1848-1930] and his wife, Alice Coughanour [1849-1926],
after more than 75 years of storage. At the time of recovery the home was
being sold after 105 years of continuous family ownership. The collection
had passed with the ownership of the Woods home in Connellsville, Fayette
County, Pennsylvania, as follows, Dr. Samuel D. Woods [1848-1930] and his
wife, Alice Coughanour [1849-1926], to their son Alfred H. Woods [1875-1960]
and his wife, Mary Ellen Hill [1879-1954], to their descendants Samuel
D. Woods, Mary Frances (Woods) Myers, Virginia (Woods) Boyer [1904-1986],
and Alfred William Boyer, until the majority of the collection was recovered
by James Alexander Boyer and his wife, Lucinda Bowers, who shared the collection
with with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Photo Archives
Project in 2006.
