The photo files below are VERY large. They are 300-500 K ! Each contains 4-8 photos. They were scanned in at 300dpi which made them slow to open, but good for printing.

Hopefully the details contained on the photo backs will be completely entered here soon !

These photos were taken by my great aunt Mildred ( Buxton) Cheever that ran the
Methodist church school & her husband was the preacher.
 
 

Salvador SK photos

Below is a list of photos I have in my collection left to me by my great
aunt. I am not trying to make money on them but would like this small
collection to get used not stay in a box for ever.
Origionals may go to relatives for SASE if you convince me of relationship.
