Thismay have resulted in some attendance drop. The Ladies Loyal Union League, with a strong book lock and key, held the names of members and their resolutions; however, most of the pages were blank. Oramel enthusiastically shot a cannon on the front grounds of the school every time the Union North had a victory. - Cindy Lee Corriveau "Images of America: Salem, Connecticut" Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Music Vale Seminary Archive, Salem Historical Society Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Salem Historical Society Collections Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1835-1876 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Salem Historical Society 19th Century Connecticut Music Music School Music Vale Seminary Piano and Instruments Salem Salem Historical Society Women https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/2092/archive/files/b5f77781e6116f27b30e3ff5d65f6a61.jpg?Expires=1781740800&Signature=KQrRq%7EbAui3t5Hie9023dUDK6uA3q0xIHVXn23p9jrroXt00QbjL6O75G9yonSJcKNtL0KfEOyERfVEVwrYBvecM%7EvAW4PC2NN8Jq693Ru4mixQv4o6qhAnxfK%7EJBW5d1ieWZcQEBETcBjsYtWhgbfIZKxjT99FNRzgFeCUR2WQGK%7Ew1PySw7duH3NURR3NX1MFF7%7EBnLm3FMGoNF1GdGWZhYln512ITDhHVTHXhYvl0%7EQfMdZXMPxN6lBGjS5no2-0t2VWEH0aFehxKBII14rFDCV26UiBSSDu9Z2jilPD6g3NbOP6196S9TfcP3NqFCGzE3t7yjK4lYfbEODHtQw__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM c8a4a69f65df64ae6aaf1037a0a7e7ce Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.
