Mary Philena Canedy Niven March 30, 1852 - July 19, 1896 "Mamie"

These photographs were mostly taken between 1868 and 1874. Most seem to be of friends from the school Mary Philena attended: Chegaray Institute in Philadelphia, PA. Most are labelled either "Chegaray" or "New Haven". Many have no identification; a few of these can be identified from other named photos. The initials "MPC" are actually written on the album in my grandmother's handwriting (she was Mary Philena's daughter).
