I just dug out a letter her kid brother wrote to their mother in 1910. He mentions the arrival of "Bert's little camera-attachment" and says he's enclosing it. I think Bert may have gone up to join their mother in Scranton. He also says that Bert had found a stash of glass negatives that she and Flora had taken with their "Vive" camera and that he had looked them over and printed some of the best. He may have been appointed the family darkroom person, being a physician and therefore a sort of chemist.

I have three albums of negatives from the early 1910s, all with indices written in Bert's careful hand. I'm almost certain that she took this delightful picture of her mother:
