Selina Ophelia Shaw
I have an old studio photograph identified as S. Ophelia, Henry, and Albert SHAW which was taken at the C. Seaver Jr. Studio in Pittsfield, MA. The three in the photograph appear to be about 6 years to early teens at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family:

SHAW (1856-1857); Henry F. SHAW (b. 1858); Mary A. SHAW (d. 1860); Albert William SHAW (1861-1940); Wilbert or Wilbur P. SHAW (b. 1869). Selina died 22 Aug 1896 at Egremont, MA and is buried in the Pittsfield Cemetery in Pittsfield, MA.
Henry Franklin SHAW was b. May 1858 to the same parents and married Nellie M. HAGAR (b. 1860) on 11 Jun 1883 in Dalton, MA. Henry died 14 Apr 1936 in Pittsfield, MA and is also buried in the Pittsfield Cemetery.
Albert William SHAW was b. 5 or 9 May 1861 Richmond, MA to the same parents and married Harriet Lyon Barker SUMNER (1861-1959) on 17 May 1882 in Burlington, VT and they had four children including Charles Sumner; Harriet Lyon Barker; Albert Park; and Henry Eugene SHAW, all born between 1883 and 1897. Albert died 19 Jan 1940 in Pittsfield, MA and he is buried in the Pittsfield Cemetery.
I would like to get this treasure to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me at your earliest convenience regarding the photograph and this family.
