The series also includes a ca. 1914 photograph of the superintendents, foremen, and officers of E. & T. Fairbanks & Co. and several sterescopic views of the company's January 21, 1876 fire. Most of the identified daguerreotypes are images of Fairbanks family members. Rebecca Pike Fairbanks, wife of William P. Fairbanks, her mother, Huldah Johnson Pike, and her grandmother, Rebecca Miner Pike (1773-1865) are also represented. A tintype of a Civil War winter camp, ca 1860s, is located in FB27-1. The image may be the 12th Vermont Volunteers at Wolf Run Shoals in the winter of 1862-1863. The 12th Vermont was commanded by Asa Blunt, an employee of the E. & T. Fairbanks & Co.
