US EditionFamily reunited with century-old photo album found in a dumpster
- A Victorian photo album over a century old was found six years ago by Melody Edwards in a dumpster in Lincoln, California.
- Edwards, who had been unhoused and living in her vehicle, felt the album was important and, urged by a friend's retired photographer, contacted a local TV station to investigate.

- This reunion highlights the difficulty of preserving family history and shows how recovered artifacts can reconnect descendants after decades of separation.
