Hello, NIce collection. Hayner Library sent me your album & this is exactly what I have been looking for. I grew up in Alton, but now live in Las Vegas. I have recently purchased a home here and was looking for some old Alton photos for some decoration. Something similar to what Tonys has in their hallways. Is there a way I can obtain prints? Do have the originals? Printing from these obviously won't look well. Thx in advance. Sabin Orr

I noticed that you have a large number of old pictures, especially the JW Ash family. Are you doing geneology also? My 3 gr-uncle is JW Ash and he lived in Alton, IL in the late 1880s. I have been searching for info and pictures of the family for over 10 years. Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures. Mary Andre[mandre221@netscape. net]
