Tintypes date to around the 1850's so that narrows things down. The people are well dressed and the tintypes are in elaborate cases. In one image the woman seems to be making sure the jewelry on her hands is in the picture, which was quite typical of the era. Having a picture taken was a special occasion.

Carol Laun, historian and archivist at the Salmon Brook Historical Society (Granby), noticed this photo and commented as follows: "We received the [same] photo from Judge Theodore G. Case in 1969, but the picture had originally belonged to Cullen Hayes who lived at 67 Barn Door Hills Road. So who is this popular guy and did he live in Granby or Granville?"

The Case and Rose families were related by marriage which probably explains why both families had the photo. But who's the guy?

Good question. Anybody???]]>
