Selections from

Mrs. Abigail Ann (Black) England's

Scrapbook

Altoona, Blair Co, PA

 

[Note:  Abigail Ann (Black) England, wife of Isaac England, was a resident of Altoona whose scrapbook is probably dated from Conemaugh in Cambria County because she was visiting a relative there in 1885 when one of her children was born, according to a Black/England researcher.  I am not related to this family, and the scrapbook was purchased on eBay.  - Judy Banja]
