Local photographer Roye took numerous formal portraits of Grace and Helen inside their home, and also created an artistic album illustrating four seasons of the Campbell's home exterior and grounds. Family portrait photographs appeared, both framed and unframed, in several interior room photos. This leather-covered photo album contained not only Campbell family photos, but also a music box. |
