File:1880's-LanganHotel.JPG
This picture was scanned from the personal archives of Sylvia Louise Langan. She provided the following comments to go along with the photo:
"Sylvia's [ed. probably Nina's] great grandfather emigrated from Macclesfield, England to Philadelphia. His family had been part of the Irish outmigration from Ireland to England, where the Catholics were treated less nastily. This ancestor was an attic weaver, rather than a textile factory operative. Evidently he could run well, and someone sponsored his one-way passage to Philadelphia to run in a race. He won that race, but his sponsor didn't come forth with the fare home... I guess he ran this hotel/boarding house to scrabble together a living. Are the tiny figures in the doorway him & his wife? Don't know. What's his name? Not sure. It might have been Montgomery. (My father is Thomas Montgomery Langan, and I think his father was Montgomery Thomas Langan)."
