Eugenia Robinson Barker’s photo album

From Eugenia Barker's photo album

I found this small red suede photo album in my uncle, Dick Barker’s house. From the way the photos were arranged I’m speculating the book belonged to Eugenia Robinson or her mother – the book started with pictures of Eugenia’s father, mother and sister then her children in the order they were born. I was unable to get high resolution scans of the but was able to take, fair quality, digital images of the photos by hand holding my camera.

Along with the photos of Eugenia’s family was a photo of Sarah Kirtland Barker, Ralph Barker’s sister, and a hand written note. Here is a translation:
