Note
Of these three photographs the earlist appears to be that in the brooch (made of coloured glass & a brass-like metal) which contains the head and shoulders portrait of a well dressed lady seemingly cut from a carte de visite. The head and shoulders portrait in a small leather frame probably dates from ca. 1890. The tintype shows two small boys, thought to be Kyffin and his brother holding a model boat each, with three women in 1920's style hats standing behind them. In the background are trees and a body of water.
