A Cousin Among the Corn
This is an as yet identified girl that shows up in quite a few of the glass negatives shot by John Capewell. When I was first examining the photos, I assumed that she was Capewell’s daughter, but records indicate that … Continue reading

Why So Serious?
John Capewell (the man in the middle) has taken photos similar to this before where he’s managed to include himself in a picture of his immediate family, but I’m not sure why everyone is wearing such a sour expression. It’s … Continue reading
You Are What You Eat!
In keeping with our farm theme, I have John Capewell’s unintended sequel to last week’s post of butchered hogs. It appears that Capewell took two exposures of the pigs and left the second plate in the camera when he shot … Continue reading
The Ignominious End of the Three Little Pigs
Here’s another farm image shot by John Capewell of Westville, NJ from early in the 20th century. I apologize to my more sensitive readers for this grisly image, but this was and is a fact of life for farmers. Just … Continue reading
A Goat in the Garden State
At one time, Westville, New Jersey and much of South Jersey had farms complete with livestock like the beast above. John B. Capewell who resided in Westville must have been so impressed by this goat that he chased after his … Continue reading

Tending the Crops
John B. Capewell’s brother owned a farm in Westville, NJ, and this looks to be it. The long lanky fellow on the left is John’s brother. I don’t know who the fellow is on the right.
Feeding the Chickens
One of John B. Capewell’s brothers had a farm, and I guess that this could be his farm, but I have no way of verifying it. In this glass negative which is in poorer condition than most of the shots … Continue reading
With the Kids Among the Corn
Last week, it was the boys in front of the corn. This week, the parents join in for a family portrait. Mrs. and Mr. John B. Capewell of Westville, New Jersey are seated in a lodge pole loveseat with Henry … Continue reading
Children of the Corn
One of John B. Capewell’s brothers ran a farm and corn must have been one of his crops. This is a photograph of John’s sons, John, Jr. standing and Henry O. seated on the lodge pole chair.
