Joseph and Bennett Rising seated in family parlor, Woodville, Tulare County, California, circa 1890. Public domain historical photograph by Baird and Reynolds.


Joseph and Bennett Rising seated in the family parlor in Woodville, Tulare County, California, photographed around 1890 by Baird and Reynolds.

Woodville lies in Tulare County, part of California's San Joaquin Valley. The valley saw heavy settlement in the late nineteenth century as families moved into the farming region, which relied on irrigated agriculture to support its communities.

The photograph comes from the Tulare County Library's local history collection, which documents ordinary residents, families, schools and businesses from the area rather than public figures. The collection was digitized through California Revealed, a statewide program that makes material from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available online.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
