Within the archives
of the Historical Society of Walden and the Wallkill
Valley, we have several boxes of unidentified and undated
old photos. If you see someone or recognize a
location, please let us know! And this is a
good time for a reminder that it is so important to
identify names and dates on YOUR family photos for future
generations to enjoy...

Class of 1942--Walden High School (a few names updated 7-31-13) 
Thank you to Mary Calley Henry (Mrs. Don Henry) who donated this photo of the Walden High School, Class of 1942. Former Trustee, Don Henry, is the smiling fellow with the bandaged head in the second row! Along with this photo, she donated several issues of the Nedlaw yearbook from 1939, 1940, 1941, ("No yearbook in '42 because of the war," said Mary), and 1943.

This handsome group of
Waldenites, might be the Eastern Stars group, the women
members of the Masons. So many faces look familiar--but
we have no names or date. Please do let us know if anyone
looks familiar.
Two photos appear to be
of the same house and family. Undated and no further
info.
These two photos show "E
Móller, Fotografisk Atelier, Kjöbenhavn, 37,
Frederiksborggade 37" printed on the reverse, with
one handwritten note on the back of the family picture
reading, "Onboard S/S C.F. TIETJEN, October
1907"
This photo from our
archive appears to be a construction site. Someone at a
later time added a note that this may be the Borden Home.
Look Familiar? We would love to hear from you!
