Rogers and a group picture of Ada, Ethel & Courtney Rogers - at least one of these women, with the adult photo, became Mrs. Henry Rogers, Alfred Pierson Rogers, Walter T.

Evidently some legal issues and acrimony concerning the building came early, with notations "...to Defend the Action Brought by Sarah Parsons and George Parsons Against William B. Bailey Trustee and John S. Penney George Edwards, Henry H. Schellinger as Building Committee...." which not only incurred expense, but sent Bailey to Albany possibly to sort out the dispute; subpoenas paid, car 'fair' to Riverhead, law stenographer, more; the years roll on with changes in teaching staff, workers, levels of expense, for 'library purposes' with some interesting notations on actual purchases: song books, general 'library' books, books for children, and occasionally pairs of shoes; By 1903 "Miss Pamelia, M.

2 sepia-tone photographs; particularly poignant, of 4 men in military garb carrying a stretcher with man aboard with pillow cradling his head, walking along a planked way between rails - which lead back to a troop carrier ship at dock (identified only from the funnel number '23' - a double-masted steam-sailer, single funnel visible midship) - bystanders watching the movement, soldiers lounging on shore, others at deck railings; (with) a shoreline image, foreground having several cloth-covered ambulance wagons, with a group of women and men in attendance, workers helping unload - in mid-ground is the Moran tug-boat Alfred W. Booth, which had been transferred to the U.S. Navy at this time and renamed the 'Massasoit' - the old name still visible here on the bow and deck-house and with several other transport steam ships in background - all boats at very temporary-looking shoreline docking facilities; images 4 1/2" x 6 3/4" size, mounted to beveled & gilt-edged cards at 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" overall; both with the publisher's notation of "....From...Corwith's Pharmacy, Southampton, N.Y." at bottom edge of mount; evidently this event, the quarantining of troops at Camp Wikoff in Montauk in 1898, was of great local interest and Corwith's took advantage of this by selling the imagery - and perhaps helped also with medicaments for the military - over 300 female nurses were at one time employed at the camp; no other photographer or studio noted; some spotting and foxing to the mounts, one with closed cut at top edge; images very good overall and are interesting U.S. military, Spanish American War, Montauk Long Island history imagery; Camp Wikoff hosted 29,000 soldiers including Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders at the conclusion of the Spanish-American War, to quarantine for fevers and other tropical diseases before the troops could be sent to their homes.
