The photograph was probably taken when Sarah was about eleven to thirteen years old. Isaac H. Dupee may have set up his photography tent in Eden several times, but we know for certain that he was taking photographs there in 1870.

Probably by Bryant Brandley. Information written on the reverse: Ellen Cooper beside driver (Ellen K. McInnes's aunt) Sarah Kaighn in back of driver (Ellen K. McInnes's aunt) Howard Cooper in back of Sarah Kaighn (Howard C. Johnson's uncle) 1877 Judging from other photographs, Robert Kaighn possibly may be identified as the gentleman 4th from left on the near side of the buckboard and it seems probably that his wife, Mary (Cooper) Kaighn, is on his right, 3rd from left.

Description: The picture shows one of the earliest views of Main Street. The house at the far right is the home of Jacob Schoppy Mayo on Clark Point Road.
The wood building at the left is the Bradley Block which was located between the First National and Bar Harbor Banks of 2007. Just visible on the awning is a mortar and pestle sign for a druggist. The building just to the right of the white store is A.W. Bee, Stationer. The large hotel at right was the Rodick House. The freshly renovated Rodick House is garnished with new trees planted and braced on the lawn. There are board sidewalks at the edge of the dirt road which, in turn, is garnished with manure from the many carriage horses shown in the picture. The sign at front lefts says, "Berry Bros. - Boarding Hack and Livery Stable - Cottage Street - Single & Double Teams Furnished Short Notice" The sign at front right says, "Café - John Dean - Phila Caterer - Chicken Croquettes - Medicated (?) Chicken Consomme"
