From the Civil war to 1896
  To the left is a tin type of Samuel Black Jr. Born
1804 Died 2-11-1891. Faded and dark, probably one of the earliest
type of tins. To the Right is a Civil war tin type (colorized)
of a soldier in uniform.(Chalkey Rulon) These too can carry hefty
price tags ranging into the Hundreds if not thousands of dollars.Value undertermined at this time |
  Both of these Tintype
pictures are of my Great Grand Father Marmion Stanly Black and
my Great Grand Mother Elizabeth Stratton Black, taken in 1896.
They took a day trip from Swedesboro NJ on the train to Philadelphia
and rode around the city. Imagine what that would be like today,
to have to carry your bikes on the train instead of driving. |
Marmion Stanley Black Born 12-16-1875 Died 3-29-1964
Both Marmion and his wife are burried in Swedesboro Trinity Church, Lower cemetary.
