                  <text>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. &#13;
&#13;
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. &#13;
&#13;
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. &#13;
&#13;
This collection contains those digitized versions of these photographs. &#13;
&#13;
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. &#13;

                <text>Photograph of John Addison Saum and his wife, Emma Ella (Wagniere) Saum. &#13;
&#13;
John grew up in Edinburg. His father, Hugh Saum (1870-1943) owned and operated a hardware store. John’s mother was Mattie C. (Whitmer) Saum (1873-1961).&#13;
&#13;
In June 1928, John married Emma Ella Wagniere (1907-1983) at her family’s home in Cumberland, Maryland. Emma was the daughter of Charles Frederick (1880-1954) and Elizabeth Sophia McMonigle (1887-1973) Saum. Her father had immigrated from Switzerland; her mother had arrived from Scotland. After they married, John and Emma lived with Emma’s parents on William Street in Cumberland. John worked as a salesman in a hardware store.&#13;
&#13;
By 1940, the couple lived on Carolina Street, still in Cumberland. By then, they had two young daughters, Ellen and Jean. John was still a salesman in a hardware store. When John registered for the WWII draft, he worked for the W. Bingham Company, a large hardware supplier based in Cleveland, Ohio but operating in many nearby states, including Maryland.&#13;
&#13;
Sometime after that, the family moved to Edinburg where the 1950 census found John managing a retail hardware store. He was still there when he died decades later although by then he was noted as having been the “owner of a furniture and hardware store”. </text>
