I took the liberty of digitally colorizing this photo. The original black and white cabinet card is shown below.
This cabinet card shows the photographer as Fulkerson, in Somerset Ohio. I’ve not had luck in finding when this photography studio was operating. If you have any links for me to explore, please share.
As you can see the backside of this photo is inscribed “Lydia Wilson Beechum, school teacher”. My guess is it was taken in the 1870’s or 1880’s. Any thoughts? Is Lydia on your family tree?
