#236:

On front: "Sidney Voorhess" is handwritten in old period pencil. Photo type: Original Vintage Victorian Cabinet Card photograph. Photographer: unknown, unmarked. 

This is a beautiful image of Sidney holding a black horse, an old barn seen in the distance. Spelling might also be Sidney Vorhess or Voor hess in census records, a Dutch name prevalent in that area. Sidney appears to be in his twenties, born in the 1870's. It was found in Madison, Madison County, New York near Utica. A beautiful antique photo, was Sidney a groom or stablehand?

    Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook. Thank you, enjoy! ~Debra Clifford (contact info on top bar)
