Margaret "Maggie" Eesley
Details withheld — living person.
Maggie is the immediate predecessor of this site. Her hyperlinked four-generation photo deck — built around four lines (Eesley / Chenoweth on her father’s side, McMaster / Anderson on her mother’s side) — uses full archival catalogue metadata for each item: Title, Type, Medium, Measurement, Condition, Creator, Date Created, Place Created, ID Number, Provenance, Description, Inscription, Location/Rights. The artifacts schema in this archive maps almost one-to-one onto her fields, so her work imports nearly losslessly.
Without her there would be no portraits in this archive. Details withheld here — living.
The one exception this page makes is at the very beginning of her life: a color snapshot of Maggie as a baby in her crib, c. 1951, from Charlie’s photographs — the archivist of the family’s images, here on the other side of the camera.

Maggie is the photograph-and-deck anchor for Thread #3 (Writing things down for the future) in the Family threads synthesis essay. Her “Four Generations of the Eesley Family” photo deck is the paternal-side image layer this archive is built on — the photographic counterpart to Mary Bean’s 1985 Eesley Family History on the same side. The 1899 Albert Robert family portrait, the late-1940s Bexley group photograph, and dozens of other key frames come through her deck.
