Monday, April 16, 2012  Mystery Monday-What year is this photo?
How can you not love this photo?  Really, the hair is awesome!
 Look at the shirt!  A cousin just sent it to me--a scan of a
tintype of my great-grandfather, Albert Murray.  But I have no
idea what year this is from.  Albert was born in 1856.  He was a
farmworker and laborer in New York and around 1880-1882 settled
in Emporium, PA where he married, was a constable, and at one
point, worked at a dynamite factory.  I have trouble imagining
someone who was a laborer being this finely styled for anything
other than his wedding in 1882 when he was 26.
