Here are Photographs of Farms, Buildings and Pastorial Scenes that where among Aunt Floras collection.

This is an enlargement with the photgraph pasted on cardboard. The subject is obviously bringing in the hay. The back of the cardboard is stamped "TIBITTS &SWITZER, Photographers, Views, englargements, Etc. 137 W. Main St. Johnstown-NY". This house seems to be the same one as shown in a much later photograph that some have told me was the house on Diamond Hill.

This photograph looks like a much later picture of the above house. It is a small black and white photograh that was pasted on to a "calling card" portrait. Some family members thought it was the "house on diamond hill". I would appreciate hearing from anyone who might be able to shed some light on it.

This photograph a man on a wagon may be related to the first photograph, noting the team of white horses and similar hitch to the wagon. The setting seems to be along a creek with the mountains in the background.

This picture of three men in front of the Rock Bottom Store Groceries is not marked. However, I assume the shop keeper in the middle is John DeRonde (born 10 Mar 1843 and died 31 Jan 1910 when a horse team on his sled bolted), Flora Brower's uncle. John is listed as a Grocier in Kingsboro in the 1876 City Directory. There is one other photograph in the collection that seems to be the same person.
