Immediate Source of Acquisition
Donated 1988 by Edward B. Sackett. Mrs. Seth C. Beach of Saginaw, Michigan, Sackett's great-grandmother, was a cousin of James McDougal Hart's aunt, Mrs. Robert J.S. Page of Flint, Michigan. Through these connections, the families were friendly. Sackett's grandfather visited the McDougals in Brooklyn and, over the years, photographs were exchanged.
