Elna Bertram Photograph Albums
2 albums containing photographs of Elna Bertram and her family & friends in and around Vinegar Bend, Alabama, ca. 1910s-1920s. Also included are photos taken during family vacations in such places as Houston & Galveston, Texas, Davenport, Iowa, and the West. There are several taken in New Orleans. Photographers unknown.In the first album the photos are in glued corner fasteners, with pencilled-in captions for most. Some of the photos have come loose from their fasteners. The second album has photos glued directly onto the album pages; some have come unglued. Each page of this album is accompanied by a slip of paper on which captions were written. Also included in the second album are news clippings dealing with Vinegar Bend, Ms. Bertram's brother(?), and others who were apparently friends of the family. Most of the clippings appear to date from the 1950s and 1960s.
