Hands on the Past

,

I very much like this photograph I am calling "Hands on the Past."  Though there is no indication of who these boys were, my guess is that this daguerreotype is of Isaac Hagaman and his brother, Theodore. Theodore,  four years older than Isaac was born in 1839 and died in 1900.  Isaac Hagaman, who donated the funds for the construction of the present library building, was born in 1843 and died in 1925.
