The album was apparently assembled by George L. Seeley (1893-1981) who died in Citronelle and was buried there [his golfing opponents E. H. Herbel (1871-1958) and Lysle G. Jernigan (1893-1955) are also buried in Citronelle]; Seeley appears in six of the Citronelle golf course photos (there are eight, taken on at least four different holes) and two Citronelle tennis photos. The Chautauqua building, Chautauqua sand pit, and Lake Chautauqua are the subject of five photographs, and the Methodist Church, local school, train depot, and numerous private residences are represented. African-Americans appear in work related photos, lumbering and farming. The Cincinnati photos include images of flooded streets in the major event of April, 1913.
