Photograph albums Tourism Louisville (Ky.)--Pictorial works Insurance agent and amateur photographer Albert Wheaton Terhune was born March 12, 1871 in Newark, New Jersey. The oldest of four children, he lost his mother to tuberculosis in 1877, and, in his late teens, contracted the disease and spent a year in a sanatorium in Colorado Springs. Upon returning to Newark, Terhune married and had at least two children, both daughters. He moved his family to Caldwell, New Jersey while he was employed by the New York City-based Provident Savings and Life Assurance Society, and later worked for Travelers Insurance Company for at least 40 years. From 1906-1907, Terhune was temporarily assigned by his company to Louisville, Kentucky to fill in for an ill worker. He lived in the Coker Apartments on Chestnut Street and spent some time with the family of P.G. Coker. Terhune spent the summer of 1907 engaging in his love for photography in and around the Louisville area. In June, July, and August 1907, Terhune travelled to points beyond Louisville, including Lexington, Kentucky; Hinton, West Virginia; Cincinnati, Ohio; Mammoth Cave, Kentucky; Tell City, Indiana; and Altoona, Pennsylvania. Terhune returned to New Jersey in 1907 and passed away January 27, 1952. The 77 photographs in this collection represent the complete contents of an album donated to the Photographic Archives by his daughter in 1987, and highlight his interest in the outdoors and include images of downtown Louisville; Cherokee, Central, and Iroquois parks; the Ohio River; and rural areas around Louisville.
