Loose pages from a photograph album, 1912-1926

Processing Information: Each album page is foldered separately and labeled PF-282/35a-PF-282/35y.

Chiefly photographs of Edward Kidder Graham (1911-1976) as a child. In many pictures, Graham is playing. He is shown fishing, taking pictures, playing with wagons and toy cars, and engaging in imaginative play--Knights of King Arthur's Court--with other boys. Of interest are three photographs of Graham with an older African American boy identified only as "Faster." Other family members pictured include Mildred Moses Graves, Louis Graves, Susan Moses Graham, Edward Kidder Graham (1876-1918), and Elizabeth Moses.
