Those Places Thursday - Indiana -Civil War Era Mother & Child


This CDV photograph of a mother and child taken in Bristol, Indiana does not identify the subjects, but from the stamp on the back we know it was taken between 1864 and 1866.  The photographer was L. H. Maffit.  Mom looks a little stunned.

  3. She looks like she could be the daughter of my Eastburn ancestors from Ohio and Indiana.
