Identification in an album.
Alvirda Rossman was born 24 September 1874 in Fulton, New York, the daughter of Benjamin Rossman (born circa 1833) and Lucinda Spencer (born circa 1839). Alvirda grew up in Fulton, and in 1900, was listed as a milliner, while living with her parents. Alvirda was married on 31 December 1906 to Fred Allen Goodenough (1882-1953). In 1910, the couple was farming in Fulton, but in censuses from 1920 through 1940, they operated a dairy farm in Richmondville, Schoharie County, New York. Alvirda passed away in Cobleskill on 19 February 1956 after an illness of two years.
Photographer Oswald Burnett was born in Jefferson, New York, on 26 September 1841, the son of Spencer Burnett (1816-1884) and Barsina Barger (1818-1906). In 1850, he was living in Jefferson with his parents and three siblings, and his father was a stone mason. In 1860, the family was farming in Blenheim, NY. On 22 September 1862, Oswald enlisted in Company E, New York 134th Infantry Regiment; he was mustered out on 17 February 1863, with a surgeon’s disability certificate. He nonetheless, enlisted on 24 September 1864 in Company Battery M, New York 1st Light Artillery Battery; he was mustered out on 23 June 1865. Shortly after the end of the Civil War, Oswald opened the first full-time photographic gallery in Cobleskill, New York. He was married in 1868 to Hannah L. Dibble (1850-1909) and the couple had four children. It seems that Burnett had given up photography sometime early in the 1890‘s, as he was listed in a directory as a wood turner; in 1900, he was living in Binghamton, NY, and was listed as a wood carter. In 1910, he was widowed and living with a son’s family in Binghamton, and was working as an accountant in the county assessor’s office. Oswald married again, this time to Lallah M. Lindsay on 10 January 1914. Oswald Burnett passed away on 23 April 1916.
