Default Looking for help with 1888 Glass Negative ID.......

Vermont still has some treasures in it's old farmhouses!

This is one item I obtained today that I can't identify.

2 3/4 width x 3 1/2 tall with chipped rough edges. Frame is 3 1/2" x 4 1/4".

Came in vintage frame with a white piece of paper behind the glass negative to make it stand out.

Took a chance and took it out of frame to see if it had any markings and it did.

Clear as day in the glass it says "1888. Co. N.Y." The reason you can't see the "1888 Co. NY" in the first photo is because the white paper that is behind the glass negative makes the white printing invisible until you remove it from the frame.

I'm assuming Goodwin but not sure why the Goodwin was left out?

Any thoughts or opinions are welcomed!
