Kuehn / Miller / Stotz Family Civil War Era Album from Wisconsin
This wonderful red cloth covered album is 4.5" x 5.5" x 2" thick.
As a matter of fact there are 13 tintypes and 10 Carte de Vistas.
My research is not conclusive but from all appearances, this album belonged to Mrs. Bernie F. Miller.
A beautiful tintype shows her and her husband. It’s still in it’s paper holder from Stark, Wisconsin.
Ma, Pa, Mr. Stoltz and Ida Stoltz are all shown in a rare tintype group shot, taken in Tomah, Monroe County, Wisconsin.
Two matching tintypes show Ida Stoltz & Mr. Stoltz. Are these aunt and uncle to Mrs. Miller?
One tintype shows Mrs. William Sommerfield & Millie Hofman in matching dresses and stylish hats.
Arnold Keene and George Keene same photographer photo taken in Norwalk, Wis. (so probably brothers).
A third unnamed photo by the same photographer shows what is probably one of the brothers (or a third one).
And in matching photos taken in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Henery Keene and “Ma’s sister” - same photographer so probably man and wife.
And dramatic photos of William Kuehn and Aunt Kuehn from Tomah, Wisconsin - suggest another aunt and uncle.
And finally a drawing of mustached hero and a 150 year old Valentine.

Stocker, Demuth and Related Families in a Civil War Era Album, from Tuscarawas County, Ohio
This heirloom is the size of most Civil War era albums. The book measures 4 1/4" wide by 5 1/2" long x 3" thick.
All of the pages are filled and many are named. Some simply state "Uncle Lee" or "Uncle Lee's Girl" and do not list the last name, but I checked on-line and found research done by others, that leads me to believe these are mostly from one extended family, from Tuscarawas Co., Ohio.
It appears that the album was put together by Rebecca Demuth. Rebecca was born 1821. She married Absolom Stocker on 30 Nov 1845 in Ohio. Absalom Stocker b.10 Mar 1814 in Stockertown, Northampton Co., Pa. d. 23 JUL 1885 in Tuscarawas County, Gnadenhutten, Ohio

Their children were: 1. Sarah Ellen Stocker b:22 Sep 1847 in Gnadenhutten, Ohio.
2. Mary Catherine Stocker b: 3 Mar 1850 in Tuscarawas County, Ohio
3. Josephine Stocker b: 23 MAY 1852 in Gnadenhutten, Ohio
4. George Franklin Stocker b: 1 Nov 1854 in Gnadenhutten, Ohio
5. Maria Amelia Stocker b: 3 Dec 1856 in Gnadenhutten,Ohio

May Wm. H. Polleys/Woodcock Album from State Normal College at Albany, New York, San Francisco and Stockton, California.
This photo album is completely full of 40 carte-de-visites portraits.
This album is covered with brown leather and the binding is nice and tight.
Inserted into the album is a presentation in calligraphy that reads
Presented To May Wm. H. Polleys By her Brother T. F. Woodcock.
Written on another loose piece of paper is 1118 South 6th. St East side.
It appears that the person that put this album together was very organized because there are three distinct periods to their life.
The first group of 9 pictures appear to be from the album owners college days in Albany, New York. It was State Normal College at Albany. All 9 photos were taken by the same photographer and at least one of the pictures refers to the Class of 77. On-line I found a list of students
from 1877, which included all of these students names. Several of the students have signed the backs of their pictures and names include:
Lucie G. Adams - Handen, Del. (listed just that way)
Fannie E. Best - Niverville, Columbia County, New York (listed just that way)
Helen M. Whedon, (listed just that way plus West Paulet, Washington)
J. H. Potter - Hartwick, Otsego County, New York (listed as Julius )
and staff members Fanny Hubbard and a distinguished male professor.
The next group of 7 pictures are all from Stockton, California and includes Mary Moore.
The rest of the 24 pictures are all from San Francisco.
Names on these pictures:
George West,
Jacob Johnson,
Mona Polleys Green,
Addie Brooks,
Sister Tucker & Miles Tucker,
and Marian Hart.
NOTE: A kind researcher sent us:
William H. Polleys, born about 1828 in Nova Scotia, Canada.
He married Dorothy Woodcock, about 1853, born about 1833 in Maine.
Their children were:
Edgar Hovey Polleys, born 1854
Frank Oscar Polleys, born about 1855,
