Hello,

There are some tintypes being sold on-line which came from: George KIDDER,
Photographer, from Watertown, MA. I became curious, so I found this man
in the KIDDER book. He married a woman from Maine. And, it appears
after his death his widow and daughters moved to CT. The paragraph below
is from the KIDDER book and I'm offering it as an FYI. (I am not from
this line.)
