NotesConstituent Note: Some photographs in this collection bear the imprint of the Northern Survey Company. Probably Hartford County.Subject Note: George N. Skinner was born about 1859. In 1880, he was still living with his father in East Windsor, Connecticut. By 1900, he had married and he and his wife Delia and their children were living in Vernon, Connecticut. It seems likely that this photograph, probably taken in the 1880s, depicts George and his family in Vernon.
