Lawrence Family Photo Album
Let me start by saying that I have no connection to the Lawrence Family, or any other family included in this photo album I enjoy antiques and I picked up the photo album at an antique store about 20 years ago. I recently located some family members related to the people in the album, and one thing led to another. Rather than respond by having to upload numerous requests for various pictures, I have decided to post them here. I hope you find something to aid you in your search.

No label on back of picture. Label on back of frame says "Dacie Lawrence". This picture and it’s little paper frame had been glued into place. I was able to remove the glue and slide the picture out. This may help us to date these pictures since Dacie is shown in a daguerreotype as an infant and in a sepia picture printed on cardstock in the front of the album, taken when she was about two years old.* PHOTOGRAPHER INFO: None. Light colored back that may be paper over tin/metal.
