Included on this second page are a further six CDV images from the Chenery album, in the possession of Francis J. Sargant. All the images are notable for their clarity, and handwritten data on the reverse.

Another set of six carte de visite images with names and dates of images indicated on the reverses as shown below.

Richard Chenery, a native of Massachusetts, and possibly Charles E. Chenery's father, shown in the middle, bottom, image, was a Naval Agent at San Francisco in 1861-65. Leonard Chenery (see image at bottom, right), Lieutenant in the United States Navy at the time this image was taken (September 13, 1874, at Northampton, Massachusetts), was probably a brother of Charles E. Chenery. Leonard entered the Union Navy in 1861, and retired, as Lieutenant Commander, in December, 1881.

Respective reverses of the carte de visite images shown above.

Please continue on to Page 3 for the next set of naval images from the album.
