A photo of their daughter Melvina's brother-in-law Homer Atwood MOREY is in the Civil War Pension file of his widow, and appears to have been taken at the same time. All three photos appear to have the same mounts, print paper, trimming, and settings. Henry and Homer are posed the same, and the drapery in the photos of Harriet and Homer appear to be identical. An affidavit by George W. GOULD states that Homer's photo was taken at Johnsonburg. Homer was discharged from the Cavalry on July 19, 1865. Another photo of Harriet is estimated to have been taken about 1880.
