photo, taken in about 1880, was recently found
while Carolyn was scanning family albums. Tucked
inside one of her mother's volumes was this
stereoptican slide - the only picture she has
ever seen of the five Peters, and the only
picture she has of her grandmother, Sarah Peters,
as a girl or young woman.
