Physical Description
28 - 5" x 8" black and white photographs mounted on 6.5" x 9.5" cardboard pages.
Processing Information
Using Kirksville city directories, local histories, articles in newspapers, and a perpetual calendar, we have been able to identify several events that occurred in early 1897. Other shots seem to have been taken later that summer and fall. Various unidentified people have tried to identify the subjects of the photographs, both before and after the album was donated. Information has been written in different hands on the borders, and while some of it has proven to be on target, some has been misleading. We have yet to identify all the buildings.
