Person:Mary Smith (82)

She had ten children, eight of whom were living in 1900. From census information, it seems she went to Colorado after her husband died, then returned to California.

Joseph-Nicephore Niepce of France, circa 1827, was the first to take what we would now call a photograph. He set up a camera in the window of his home, left it there for most of the day, and wound up with a grainy, blurry photograph of the rooftops nearby. One photograph took several hours.
