Item description

(2) Two Antique Cabinet Card Photographs. Identified as scenes from a school play at Centenary Collegiate Institute in Hackettstown, New Jersey and dated 1898. One of the actors in this play is Alice Wilde Smith who is dressed as a man in both images. The Centenary Collegiate Institute, now known as Centenary University, is a private liberal arts college in Hackettstown, New Jersey. Founded in 1867 by the Newark Conference of the United Methodist Church, Centenary has evolved from a coeducational preparatory school to a girls' preparatory school (1910), to a Junior college for women (1940), to a four-year women's college (1976), to a coeducational baccalaureate-degree-granting institution (1988) and finally to a master-degree-granting institution (1995). Measure approximately 3.5 x 5.25 each including mount. Condition: These are original photographs, not a copy or reproduction. It is in excellent condition. Comments: These photos came from a single estate of mostly interrelated New Jersey individuals (all sold individually) taken in Orange, Hackettstown, and Paterson which include: Rev. George W. Smith and his wife Mary P. Smith (parents of Mary Edwina Smith Johnston, Alice Wilde Smith, and Anabel Smith. Alice and Mary Edwina were known to have attended Centenary Collegiate Institute (CCI) circa 1897-98.); Mary Edwinas husband Rev. Harry J. Johnston and their son Edward Wilde Johnston; Emma B. Wilde; Beatrice Wilde Bryant, her husband Luther P. Bryant, and their daughters Elizabeth Beatrice (photos taken in Northampton, MA); John Lees (brother of Mrs. Edward Wilde, aka Grandma Wilde. He resided in or near Leesburg, Florida with his wife Christie); Eleanor Smith, daughter of Peter Smith and niece of Rev. George W. Smith; Amy Johnston Currie, sister of Rev. Harry J. Johnston, and her husband Rev. Walter Thomas Currie, who were missionaries in Africa; Louisa Lilly Johnston and William Rowan Larry Johnston of Brandon, Manitoba, Canada.
