 This is a scan of a tintype photograph taken in the summer of 1862 of Lois Parmeter and her children. The baby on the left is Alice Amelia Parmeter born 13 January 1862 (she was my grandmother and the author of this story), Harriet C Parmeter born 9 March 1860, and Orville C Clark Parmeter born 22 July 1857.
Since their father, Benjamin Parmeter, enlisted in the Civil War on August 2, 1862, I believe this this photo of the family was taken for Benjamin to carry when he went off to war.
