a cased photograph, tintypes, and cabinet cards of the Harsh family and relatives, some dating to the Civil War era. The bibles
date from 1865, 1880, and 1881, and include family genealogical information. There are two artifacts in the collection owned
by Samuel Harsh, including a potato masher and a clock. The masher includes engravings of his name and the date of 1890. The
cased photograph is an image of Samuel F. Harsh dating from 1865 as a member of Captain Haller's Home Guards, a local militia
unit formed for the purpose of protecting Barbour 
County from Confederate raids; and there is a lock of hair, also in a union case, that was kept by his wife Louisa during the Civil War.
