This album contains pictures dating from about 1880 through the early 20^th century, from the Cox, Landis, and Nenno families. It is not known at this time how these photos came into Sally's possession, or how they might have been related to other old photos. Many original's are in Sally's possession. Images were scanned from the original prints, except for photos #1, #2, #4, and #5, which were from good quality recent copies created by Sally for her sisters, Carroll and Suzie.

Some photos were apparently tin types, since nearly identical photos exist in that form in the Cox family album. Tin types were available from 1852 and common through 1890.
