Description
An account of the resource
In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer.
Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives.
In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized.
This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs.
Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028.
This collection does contain some images of a sexual and/or graphic nature that some viewers may find inappropriate.

Portrait taken of Annabel Lee Polk as a young woman.
Annabelle lived in Edinburg and was the daughter of Lester Earl (1899-1994) and Margie Jane (Fadeley) (1904-1990) Polk.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer.
Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives.
In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized.
This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs.
Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028.
This collection does contain some images of a sexual and/or graphic nature that some viewers may find inappropriate.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer.
Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives.
In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized.
This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs.
Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028.
This collection does contain some images of a sexual and/or graphic nature that some viewers may find inappropriate.

Description
An account of the resource
Photograph of William H. Polk standing behind his mother, Anna B. (Arrington) Polk (seated left), his wife, Edna, and his oldest son, William A. Polk. He is most remembered for having worked as a minister in the early 1920’s at the Mt. Zion Methodist Church, a historically black church in Woodstock.
William was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to William Henry Polk (born in Delaware) and Anna B. (Arrington) Polk (born in Alabama). In 1910, he lived with his parents on Fairmont Avenue. His father worked as a Hostler for a factory stable while his mother worked as a dressmaker in a shirtwaist factory. The family also had three lodgers living with them.
When he registered for the WWI draft in 1917, he was a “Minister of the Gospel” in a Methodist Church in Monroe County, West Virginia. His father had died and he supported his mother.
William’s mother, Anna B. Arrington Polk was born in Alabama to Robert Arrington. The name of her mother and the year of her birth are not known. The 1910 census reported that Anna had borne 7 children, of which only 2 were still living. After her husband died, Anna lived with her son, William, for more than ten years. She died in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
The 1920 census, enumerated in February, found William and his widowed mother, Anna, living in Carroll County, Maryland. Shortly after, they moved to Shenandoah County where William met Edna H. Steptoe (1891-1969) who lived in New Market. They married in November 1920. She was born in Grottoes, Rockingham County, and was the daughter of a preacher, Albert C. Steptoe (1892-1944), and Anna (Strother) (1890-1954) Steptoe.
The couple’s first son, William Albert Carter Polk, was born in October 1922, and we believe this photograph was taken a few months later.
William Henry Polk’s work as a minister meant he and Edna moved many times during their decades together. They had four children: William A.C., Leona H., Vaucrosson L. and Anthony F. The two youngest were born in Washington D.C (ca. 1926) and Maryland (ca. 1928), respectively. In 1930, the family lived in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. In 1940, they were in Poolesville, Maryland where they owned their home. By 1950, William and Edna still had one daughter, Leona, living with them. By then, they lived on West Cornwell Street in Leesburg, where they retired and spent most of their remaining days. Both of them are buried in Gleedsville, Loudoun County, Virginia.
Reverend Polk’s son, William A.C. Polk, married twice. First, to Margaret Sallie Atwell in 1948 in Leesburg. Reverend Polk officiated at his son’s first wedding. Her parents were Herman S. and Elizabeth V. (Wells) Atwell. His second wife was Winona Davis (1933-2002) who was originally from Pennsylvania. He spent the latter part of his life with her in Washington, Beaufort County, North Carolina.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1899 Hugh Morrison Jr. opened a photograph studio on W. Court Street in Woodstock after several years of working in the area as a travelling photographer.
Between that time, and the time his grandson James Morrison closed the studio in 1988, the Morrison family captured thousands of portraits, landscapes, and buildings on film and glass negatives.
In 1999 the Shenandoah County Historical Society acquired over 31,000 of these negatives from the estate of local collector Charles D. Bauserman. Volunteers from the historical society worked over the next several decades to house, number, and scan each image. This effort resulted in over two tons of Morrison plates and negatives being processed and digitized.
This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs.
Through a partnership between the historical society and the Shenandoah County Library's Truban Archives access to a growing number of these images is available to the public. Current projections indicate the full collection will be available for viewing sometime in 2028.
This collection does contain some images of a sexual and/or graphic nature that some viewers may find inappropriate.
