Mr. and Mrs. Shank, Albumen Carte de Visite with Green Tax Stamp, 1865

"J. B. Hopkins, Photographer, Lock Haven, PA." Written in pencil on reverse: "M.(?) R. Shank & wife." The 3-cent tax stamp has been cancelled with a black ink stamp reading "1865."

 

The most likely candidates for this family are farmer Michael Shank (b.1810) and his wife Susan (b. 1819), who lived in the town of Liberty, not far from Lock Haven.
