Daguerreotypes of Lorenzo Smith Fyler (1818-1900) and Cordelia Wiltse Fyler (?-1864) on one side of the case and their three sons, Edwin Wiltse (1843-1911), Warren Erastus (1846-1928), and Dewitt Clinton (1850-1897) on the other. The oldest son, Edwin, is pictured in his early teens, proving that the woman in the adjacent photograph is their mother Cordelia rather than Lorenzo's second wife Catherine Wiltse (Cordelia's sister).

The family moved to Roscoe Ill where Lorenzo worked as a druggist.
