People
Numerous portraits and candids make up the snapshots of people in the lantern slides. Many appear to have prepared to have their picture taken while taking part in entertaining activities, but others include people working under RG&E. These pictures point towards people that might have had connections with RG&E, either through employment or close connections. They have yet to be identified.
