Photo Album #2 – Warne/Woodman Photo Album – Digby, Nova Scotia and Bear River, Nova Scotia – 1927+
24 photos in corner mounts. Album measures approx. 11 1/2″ x 7″ (29.5 cm x 9 cm) Photos are arranged in the order they appear in the album.
Research: I believe this album belonged to a nephew/niece of Millie (Warne) Woodman who was married to Henry Judson Woodman (1856-1926).

“Orin Woodmans Store. At “Joggin Bridge” Mrs. Woodman – Uncle Jed Potter – 92 years old”
Research: Henry Judson Woodman and Millie (Warne) Woodman did have a son named Oran Fritz Woodman (1891 – 1974). If this is their son, and the woman, “Mrs. Woodman”, is his wife, she would be Leona May Blackadar (1892-1964).
I cannot locate a Jed Potter who would have been born around 1835. I based the birth year on the assumption the photo was taken in 1927.

Research: Millie Woodman’s husband was Henry Judson Woodman, but he died May 5, 1926. Not sure if this is the “Uncle Henry Woodman” who is being referred to.

“Uncle Ed & Sadie Alcorn’s Place. Bear River – Digby County. N.S.”
Research: Millie (Warne) Woodman’s sister, Sarah Elizabeth Warren (1867 – 1947) married Edward Alcorn (1862 – 1945) of Bear River, N.S.
Sometimes the last name of Warne was changed to Warren.
I wonder if this house still stands today.
