7 photographs · 4 document groups

Photographed by Whit from the recovered Joseph Dow collection. Descriptions draw on visible names, dates and subjects; uncertain readings remain provisional. Reading copies are turned upright, and each image links to the unchanged full-resolution original.

JDT-D627 · Village Seminary, Hyannis: first term commencing March 1855

The heading reads Village Seminary at Hyannis, Ms., with a first term commencing March 7, 1855. Two photographs list students, home places and numerical account columns. Hyannis, Yarmouth Port and other Cape Cod communities recur. The register documents the school’s regional connections without establishing each student’s later identity.
