Moses L. Scudder - vintage photo ca 1870, Hartford, CT

By Lola Ball February 08, 2009 at 03:55:44

I have been given several "Visiting Cards" from a friend who purchased them at an auction. I am attempting to contact someone from the direct line of Moses L. Scudder and pass on his photo.
 
The card is approximately 2 1/2 inches by 4 inches and these cards were given when wishing to visit someone. The front of the card is a photo of a middle aged man. Handwritten on the back, Moses L. Scudder.Additionally, printed on the back is the name of the photographer, G. N. Granniss, Photographer, Waterbury, Conn.

Granniss, G. N., Photographer, Exchange Place, Waterbury, CT (1866-1872)

I found a Moses L. Scudder, 55 yrs., Meth. Presiding Elder, b. NY, in the 1870 Hartford Co., CT census.
In that household were:
Mrs. (no name given) 52 yrs., b. Ny
Harry 20 yrs., Student
Emily 24 yrs.
Newton 14 yrs.
Chas. 13 yrs.
Caroline 58 yrs., domestic
(all born NY)
 
I am an avid genealogist for my family and know how wonderful it would be to have a photo of any member. I hope that you can assist me with any information that may be helpful in reaching a direct line descendant of Moses L. Scudder.
