For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Morrison Studio Collection Subject The topic of the resource Morrison, Hugh Jr. (1871-1950) Morrison, Louis Morrison, James 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.

Born in Strasburg, she was the oldest child of Robert Fleming (1876-1944) and Hattie May (Hottel) (1882-1922) Balthis. Interestingly, her civil birth was recorded later, in 1946, when a bible from the 1870’s was produced with her birth recorded in it. Her Aunt Mary Grace Kneisley, by then in her eighties, affirmed the birth entry. Her father worked as a telegraph operator. Eleonor had two younger brothers. She grew up on Queen Street in Strasburg and lived there for much of her life. She went to Madison Teachers College where she earned a B.S. in History and Government and a Masters in Education. The 1930 census found her living in Hagerstown, Maryland, with two Kneisley women who were likely relatives. There, she worked as a “music supervisor” at a public school. The 1947 yearbook from Warren County High School included her as an instructor of Language Arts and Social Studies. Sometime after that, she accepted a faculty position at Strasburg High School, where she was a well-known teacher of music and government for many years.
