GENEALOGICAL TREASURES FOUND

o I have death certificates for two different people named

George ADDISON who died in Australia. One died in 1902 and one

died in 1894. I purchased them from New South Wales and can't

seem to get the right death certificate for my George ADDISON.

I am offering these to anyone who has this connection. All they

have to do is send me a self-addressed stamped envelope and

tell me which George ADDISON is theirs and maybe where he was

from to prove that this is the right person, and I'll send them

right along.

o My husband and I used to pick up recycled newspaper for our

Senior Citizens organization who sold the paper to a local

recycler. While picking up the newspapers one Sunday in 1997, I

found a small book outside the paper box. It is 5" x 7.25" and

titled "Our Wedding." Inside is the recording of a marriage:

"George C. BAGLEY of Monterey and Nellie PRESTON of San

Bernadino were united in Holy Matrimony at Monterey According

to the Ordinance of God and the laws of California on the

first day of September in the year of Our Lord 1929.

[signed by] Edward M. SHARP

[signed below by} Edna C. PRESTON and Cora R. PRESTON"

There are no other entries in the book.

I looked in our local Salem, Oregon phone book but could not

locate anyone by the names listed so put it away and forgot

about it until recently when I found it.

I was able to unite some photos with relatives using

[Somebody's Links] several years ago so thought I'd try again.

I would be happy to scan this or mail to anyone who may have a

relationship with these persons.

o I have an old newspaper cutting of a picture of a large

family. By the articles on the back of it, there is a date of

1913. At the top of the picture it reads: "Guests at Golden

Wedding of Esteemed Fullarton Pioneers." Underneath it reads:

"The above excellent engraving pictures the family gathering at

the home of Mr. and Mrs. George BALD, 'Maple Front Farm'

Fullarton township on April 16, on the happy occasion of the

celebration of the golden wedding of this esteemed couple. A

full story of the golden wedding appeared exclusively in THE

HERALD of Sat. April 19. The central row is composed of the

honored parents and their five sons and four daughters - Adam M.

BALD, Berlin; Chas A. BALD, Buffalo; Wm. BALD, Black Creek, on

the old homestead; Edward BALD, Seebach's Hill; Alfred O. BALD,

Buffalo; Mrs. O. WEINBACH (Julia), Philadelphia; Mrs. Amos NEIGH

(Anna) of Buffalo; Mrs. Geo W. NEIGH (Emma), Stratford; Mrs.

Andrew STOSKOPF (Louise) of Sebringville. The esteemed

Stratfordite, Mr. Geo. NEIGH, is seen prominently in the back

row."

It says nothing about which state it is in. My first

thought was it was somewhere on the East Coast as a couple of

the people were from Buffalo and one from Philadelphia, but now

I'm wondering if it might be Canada. On the back of the cutting

is half an ad selling suits that mentions their factory in

Canada and another small article mentioning someone leaving

Canada for England. The cutting is fragile and I would be happy

to send it on or scan the picture to anyone interested.

o 1873 CAMPBELL-WILLIAMS Family Bible, Ohio; Item # 1558877614

Auction ends: Sep-05-02 21:40:46 PDT; Seller: kathym

1873 Bible found in Akron, Ohio. It came from an old house on

Merriman Road, but the family was initially located in Alliance,

Ohio. Pages with family information are as follows: Holy

Matrimony Certificate -- ink is very faded and I can't read it.

Marriages -- ink is so faded it is almost impossible for me to

read. I can make out the words "PA" (Pennsylvania), and possibly

"April." Five lines are filled in, but it may be only one entry.

Births -- The first two lines are quite faded but I believe they

read "Isabella Kirkpatrick WILLIAMS was born on the 30th day of

July, 1870 in Alliance, Ohio." In a different handwriting, in

dark blue ink, the next entries were perhaps written all at the

same time: Ernest Albert CAMPBELL - May 27, 1868; Donald Arthur

CAMPBELL - January 4, 1895; Ilona Olive CAMPBELL - August 8,

1898; Claretta CAMPBELL - January 27, 1901; Ernest Arnold

CAMPBELL - December 23, 1913. Deaths –- "Isabella Kirkpatrick,

daughter of John and ?Delfina WILLIAMS, died on Friday, the 16th

of September in Alliance, Ohio 1870." I have left the little

mementos that were pressed between the pages where they were.

o From the Dover-Foxcroft-Bradford area of Maine, I have five

o While shopping in an antique store in Fredonia, Chautauqua

County, New York on Saturday, 31 August 2002, I found two

wonderful Bibles which had belonged to the DUTTON family. The

genealogical information is extensive, extending from 1792 in

New York and New England at least through the 1960s in Arizona.

I'm sorry that I didn't have time to copy some details but we

were traveling and had some "cemetery tromping" to do before

returning to Oregon yesterday, 1 September.

It will be necessary to obtain both Bibles to obtain all

the data which fills both the traditional center sections

between the Old and New Testaments and additional pages which

have been slipped in. In addition, there is a beautiful Marriage

Certificate complete with a Revenue Stamp. The Bibles are

Items #3V61 and 32903 and are on a table about midway along the

south wall of the shop.

o 1810 Germantown ECKMAN Family Bible; Item # 1560208984

Auction ends: Sep-08-02 14:17:46 PDT; Seller: networthysolutions

Leather bound New Testament Bible printed in Germantown,

Pennsylvania in 1810. Inside the front cover are written the

births and one death of six ECKMAN children from 1824 to 1839.

[Editor's Note: This is my transcription from a scanned image:

"Emanuel ECKMAN was born the 28 of June 1824

Elisabeth ECKMAN was born the 20 of August 1826. Died the

7 of October 1826

Abraham ECKMAN was born the 22 of February 1830

Also included is a letter in German by Emanuel ECKMAN dated 1848

and a note about the death of Christian ECKMAN in 1796.

The Bible is in good condition for its age. Pages are tight and

complete. Leather at front hinge is cracked. Brass and leather

clasps are complete. [Editor's Note: In response to my request

for more information, networthysolutions@yahoo.com wrote: "I do

not know if the ECKMANs resided in Germantown or not. I do not

know the names of the parents. The letter I have looks like it

was addressed to Emanuel ECKMAN. It says 'Emanuel ECKMAN June

the 1st AD 1848.' Also with the letter is a slip of paper that

has 'Christian ECKMAN wife of Martin ECKMAN died January 1796.'"]

o I have a small dictionary dated 1877 in which is pinned

an obituary of Charles FERGUSON, who lived in Olive and died

"at his residence on the Lansing Road." He was born in

182_ [illegible] and had just passed his 58th birthday.

Survivors included his wife and three children and two sisters,

____ SWARTHOUT of Grand Rapids and Mrs. John O. PALMER of Monroe

County, New York. I surmise from the contents of the obituary

that he was living in Michigan at the time of his death. The

dictionary and attached obituary are available to the first

person who asks. If I don't hear in a week, the book will go

elsewhere.

o While cleaning a rental property, I came across the death

certificate for Trinidad R. GRECO, female, date of birth

30 May 1901, date of death, 7 May 1986, San Antonio, Bexar

County, Texas. Mrs. GRECO was the daughter of Manuel C. RICE

and Tomasita CANTU and the person giving the information is

Nancy G. TALERICO. Other information given is that Mrs. GRECO

was born in Mexico and widowed. Funeral arrangements were

handled by Angelus Funeral Home and Mrs. GRECO was buried at

the San Fernando Cemetery #2 on 9 May 1986. Hopefully this

information will help someone with their research. I will

gladly mail the death certificate to any one who is related to

Mrs. GRECO.

lot of the stuff that didn't go I just took home with me. I

found a bracelet from the 1960s with a little girl's name on it.

She was from Everett, Washington, because there is an address on

the back. Her name is Jacquiline McBROWN. She would be in her

40s now. I would be glad to send it to anyone who can prove she

belongs to them (no charge). Please put "ID" in the subject.

for another man of the same name. I'd be most happy to send the

information for this man to whomever it will help. I received 20

pages of records for John E. RICHARDSON of Company F, 48th Ohio

Infantry, born 1832 in St. Lawrence, New York, but enlisted at

Defiance County, Ohio in 1861 for three years and reenlisted

in 1864 in Texas. He was a Corporal, promoted to Sergeant and a

prisoner of war, captured 8 April 1864 in Natchez, Mississippi,

returned to his regiment in November 1864. (The Army charged

him $.95 for "losing" his guns!)

There is no charge for sharing these records.

o I found an envelope in an old book I purchased in San Diego,

California a few years ago. It was addressed to Pvt. Francis D.

SCURR, 5749 Carlton Way, Hollywood, California. It was from the

War Department, SPCL CA A/C DET, 406 So. Main St. Los Angeles,

California. Inside was a small photo of a man and woman standing

in front of a business and only shows part of the name –-

"something? ...oduction Welding." On the back of the photo is

written: "Joe and Me taken by some of the kids that wanted a

picture of their bosses, Jun 1, 1944, Love Mom." Also two

playing card size business cards, "Magic House of Charles,"

6613 1/2 Hollywood Blvd, Box 888, Hollywood, Calif.," and it

lists Magic, Jokes, Novelties, Toys, Greeting Cards, Rentals.

Phone GLadstone 9715. I would love to get these items back to

family of the people mentioned above.

o At a flea market in Spirit Lake, Iowa, I found an alien

registration card from Galveston, Texas, dated 23 February 1918,

for Frank WEGNER, complete with his photo and fingerprint

Jean28@heartlandtel.com

o Recently I purchased a small photo of William L. WIGGINS

from an antique dealer in northwest Arkansas. It id black-and-

white, measures about 2.75" x 3.75", and comes with a dark brown

heavy card stock presentation folder. I am guessing the vintage

to be early to mid 1940s, as he is wearing a Navy dress blues

uniform. (WWII enlistment photo?) Insignia on his sleeve

indicates that he served as a shopkeeper (I looked it up!). I

will send this photo to anyone with a connection to this man,

but would prefer that a direct descendant receive it.

Suzan Kaye spkaye@cox-internet.com

o I have 17 unidentified cabinet photographs from my

grandmother's album. Most of these were made in various studios

in Mt. Vernon, Jefferson County, Illinois and probably date

from the late 1800s. They are possibly of WILSON, OSBORN,

and CARPENTER families, and perhaps of persons who married

family members. Among these would be VAUGHN, MANNION, and

HAWKER. There are also six tintypes. I would be glad to send

scans of any or all to those researching anyone with one of

these surnames who was in the area during that time period, in

return for help in identifying the subjects. Please use

"Jeff. Co. Photos" as the subject of your response.

embroidered with the initials IFB or ILB.

o 1857 COFFIN-HALL Family Bible with Family Record

Item # 1562193777; Auction ends: Sep-18-02 15:47:19 PDT;

Seller: shiveringofforgottenenemies (Maine)

Leather bound Bible printed by the New York Bible Society,

No. 7 Beekman Street, New York City, 1857. This Bible once

belonged to Mrs. Mary N. HALL, whose name appears in pencil on

the cover leaf and stamped in ink on the first fly leaf.

Mary N. HALL is probably the mother of Margaret S. HALL, born

5 September 1830, who married T. C. COFFIN, born 3 February 1828

whose names are recorded in the family record. The next entry

has been excised, the paper cut away which was the only way of

removing a permanent inked entry. This entry is followed by the

names of four children: Andrew F. COFFIN, born 1 September 1850;

Myra E. COFFIN, born 31 May 1852; Thomas A. COFFIN, born

28 April 1854; and Alice COFFIN, born 12 March 1859. It seems

likely that this Bible remained in Mary HALL's possession and

was eventually passed on to Francine (?) T. HALL LONG (possibly

SONG), based on a pencil notation on the back flyleaf.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1562193777

o Rescued from a flea market, 1927 and 1928 yearbooks from

VANDERGRIFT HIGH SCHOOL, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. It

appears that they once belonged to Esther COLEMAN, who was to

graduate in 1930. Both books have writing in them, signatures

and such. All I ask is to be reimbursed for what I paid for

them ($20 each) plus shipping charges. I picked up these books

because the years are so close to the 1930 census date. The 1927

yearbook also includes baby pictures of most of the seniors and

an alumni section, providing information on some of the seniors

from 1902 to 1926. The 1927 yearbook has pulled away from the

binding, but other than that both books are in very good shape.

Out of respect for the original owner, I would like to sell

these books as a set.

o 1882 DANIELS Family Bible; Item # 1562511821

Auction ends: Sep-16-02 22:42:44 PDT; Seller: ga4502@aol.com

Elaborate salesman's sample in good condition; no family data

mentioned in description except: "At the very end is a two-sided

stiff page that says 'Family portraits' with four windows per

side for displaying old family photos. There are four 1860s-

1870s era photographs within. I carefully slid them out and

there were names with some dates on the backs. The first is of

a small girl standing, bearing the name of Kittie DANIELS,

1861-March 6, 1888. The second is of a small girl sitting,

Carrie M. DANIELS, born Sept. 16, 1866, died April 10, 1944. The

third is of a young woman, Naomi Gaut DANIELS, born Aug. 12,

1840, died Feb. 12, 1902. The last is of an older man sitting,

bearing the name of William DANIELS (Amos DANIELS' father). The

photos were gently replaced to their original positions after I

examined the backs. Apparently the Bible belonged to this

DANIELS family." [An image of the page with these photos is

with the description.]

o I have a few pictures that I picked up at an antique store

personal items returned to a relative who can tell me Thelma's

married name.

Auction ends: Sep-15-02 17:36:02 PDT; Seller: rds-scottsdale

HARRISON family Bible, printed 1790. Births from 1793 to 1829

include Betsy, James, Jesse, Amzy, Fielding, Martha, Andrew,

Alvin, Cyrus, Susan, Melissa, and Alexander. Also Julie WHEELER,

Susan WHEELER, and Joseph HAMILTON. An old Bible that measures

3.25 x 7 inches; in well-worn condition and missing a bunch of

the beginning pages. Records are on the pages between first part

and psalms. [Editor's Note: In response to my request for more

information, Seller rdsks@cox.net wrote: "I do not know where

the family was from as there is no indication of their location

in the Bible. The item was obtained in Phoenix, Arizona at an

estate sale. There was a good amount of items from Arizona,

Kansas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania in the lot (with Arizona being

newest stuff and Pennsylvania being the oldest). My guess is

that they moved west over the years. There were some things from

some towns just south of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, but that

might be a stretch on where it came from. Bible was printed in

Edinburgh, Scotland which may mean roots in that part of the

world. Bob S."]

o 1870 KING Family Bible, New Salem, Mass.; Item 1562199914

Bible published by National Publishing Company, 1870, with

family records of the KING family of New Salem, Massachusetts

from the 1840s to the 1880s. The back of the Bible has a place

o While on a genealogical field trip in West Virginia in late

August 2002, I took a break at an antique mall. Among my finds

was a fascinating photograph (which has aging spots on it) of a

young man in choir robes, mouth open as if singing, holding his

music. On the back it is signed "Sincerely yours, Clarence A.

LANGFORD, Basso, St. Luke's (P.E.) Choir, Atlanta, Georgia." I

was drawn to it because I thought the name was that of an

Episcopal priest I used to know, but upon checking, found it was

not. An Internet check turned up an 8 November 1931 death record

in Fulton County, Georgia and an earlier article in the Atlanta

newspaper announcing the marriage of Clarence Albert LANGFORD to

Mary Ella CHRISTIAN. I will be happy to send the photo to anyone

researching either family for $3 (my cost and postage).

shortly after discharge from the Korean War. It is a 3x5, black

father wrote: Harold MITCHELL, Camp Chaffee, Ark., March 30,

1952. My father enlisted from Trezevant, Tennessee and returned

to the Carroll / Weakley County areas of Tennessee at discharge.

My uncle thinks this man was from he same area. I would gladly

mail it to a family member.

o At a flea market on Labor Day weekend 2002, I purchased the

following antique photos that I would like to return to family:

-- Agnes C. MOEN, taken in Portland, Maine. Her age looks to

be about 20 years old. The photo is dated December 1885. Given

to her friend Lizzie.

-- Ellen Hart TRUE. Her age appears to be about five. I guess

the photo is from around 1900? and taken in Portland, Maine.

-- Evelyn Mae BRIGGS. Her age is five months and the photo is

dated 8/5/1904 [5 August 1904] and was with a lot of photos

from Portland, Maine. On the back is written "Aunt Emma and

Uncle Walter."

-- Almena STEVENS. Her age appears to be 16 and I guess the

photo is from around 1890 and taken in Portland, Maine.

o I have a scribbler-type notebook owned by a great-aunt by

marriage, Helen D. OLIVER, who was born in Galt, Waterloo

County, Ontario, Canada, and married my great-uncle George

ROBERTSON. She used it as a scrapbook. Most of the clippings are

poems but some are births, deaths, or marriages. I've been able

to deduce how some of the people were related to Helen, but

assume some were just friends. I've not been able to find out

much about Helen's genealogy. Perhaps someone will find the

following helpful (none of the clippings is dated, or has the

name of the newspaper; the notebook is dated 1899):

o I would like to find owners for these old photos.

-- One is a little boy holding a stuffed toy and dressed in a

warm fuzzy outfit. It is in a cardboard frame that has written

"Happy Birthday to Betty Jo from Carl ZIMMERMAN, June 20, 1934."

The others are 4 postcard type pictures that came together.

They are all baby pictures.

-- One is addressed to Mrs. John McGARVEY, Le mens, Maine. It

is a picture of a baby girl with very big eyes. The

correspondence reads, "Here is the baby picture she is two

months old to a day. Catherine Victoria SHIELDS."

-- Another card has a photo of a woman holding a baby; the

woman appears to be in her early thirties or late twenties. She

is sitting in a chair in what appears to be a shed; there is

what appears to be an old buggy behind her. It is not addressed

to anyone but the back reads, "This is Lois, age 6 months and 3

weeks. How are you this summer. from Verda."

-- The third card is a picture of a baby in a beautiful ornate

wicker chair. The back reads, "Born March 27, '96 and he is two

month and." The address side reads, "From Edwin McPHERSON to Ant

Kate."

-- The last photo is a picture of a baby about 8-10 months

old, sitting in a chair on a front porch. Nothing is written on

the back.

I don't know if these are from the same family or not; I

got them from eBay. If any of these are yours, you may have

them. E-mail me at littleangeljw@yahoo.com and I will send them

to you. I want nothing for them, only to see that they return

to their families.

GENEALOGICAL TREASURES FOUND

o I have Viola BUSHEY's bracelet. It is old, possibly from

the 1920s, but I'm not sure. It is gold filled with her name

engraved on it. Underneath, the initials GRL are also engraved.

It has little monetary value, only sentimental. I paid $8 for

it at an estate sale. I will return it to the family for what I

paid plus shipping.

o Items seen at a flea market in Des Moines, Iowa:

Group I. Pictures. The dealer said they were purchased together.

Those with identification seem to be from around Braddyville,

Page County, in far southwestern Iowa, right on the state line

with Missouri (Nodaway County). There are few names, but some

have comments.

1. Braddyville High School, taken Sept. 23, 1910 -- a group of

20 people some of whom are likely teachers.

2. Postcard dated Dec. 28, 1914; addressed to Mrs. Vangie

DILTS, Braddyville, Ia. "This is a pictures of James MARCY and

myself. It was taken in the Prairie Bell church when it was

decorated for a harvest home entertainment." (signed) Burt. It

shows two men playing violins.

3. Postcard picture of three very well dressed people -- two

men and one woman, on horseback. The woman in wearing a long

riding dress, and the men are in suits. Taken May 12, 1912 "I am

the one in the foreground. The lady in the picture is my sister.

This picture was taken in Missouri" Not addressed or signed.

4. A lovely young woman, nicely dressed, dated Dec. 24, 1919.

5. A young man and woman, nicely dressed, on the front stoop

of a board house. "Floyd and Madge taken up on Hills Claim last

winter"

6. A group of children about ages 8-10 with a woman: "This is

my Sunday school Class and myself taken in our field near our

sugar bush and peach orchard. I had to cut the card to get it in

the envelope." Then it says Ella MARTIN, but it is unclear if it

is the writer or the recipient.

7. An envelope with about 30 negatives addressed to Vangie

MARTIN, Braddyville, Iowa, no date, from Day & Night Studio,

Sedalia, Missouri. A variety of people, several farm scenes;

One is of two men in front of "SCHAEFERS CAFÉ Meals, Ice Cream,

Drinks." The same two men in front of what might be the same

Café, but a sign says "Tyler Brothers Ice Cream." Another of a

woman in front of a brick wall on which a sign says "Pearline.

The Modern Soap."

8. A picture of a field and farmstead taken July 1908.

The rest are unmarked in any way. One is a lovely picture

of three girls ages about 9, 5, and 3. Others include an elderly

couple, three elderly men (taken in Los Angeles, California),

several of children. Also with the pictures is a brochure for

the fall 1933 semester of Iowa State Teachers College, Cedar

Falls, Iowa, addressed to Miss Ruby MARTIN, Route 4, Clarinda,

Ia. (Clarinda is in Page County, north of Braddyville.)

Group II: Two autograph books, one in the shape of a fan, the

other about 3x5. Dates Dec. 1879 to June 1881. It appears they

belonged to Ella BALDWIN of Venango, Erie County, Pennsylvania.

Signers: Your Sister Flora, Arthur HUNTLEY, Bert HUBBELL,

Mary E. KEENT (or KAENT) May H. GOULD, L. M. BALDWIN.

Group III: Two "Memory Albums" high school mementos 1935-1938

and senior memories 1938-39 of Rosemary COSTELLO, given to her

by Margaret MONOHAN; school was ST. FRANCIS ACADEMY, Council

Bluffs, Iowa. Contains cards, party invitations, report card

June 4, 1937, graduation announcement 1939.

The dealer said his computer is down so if interested,

contact me and I will help you get in touch with him.

fever and on Sat. Jan. 14 writes, "My folks went to Troy. I

stayed at home, was not feeling very well. Told them to stop

they came home, had the nose bleed." Jan. 15 1871, "Did not feel

any better, sent for the Dr. said I was threatened with the

Typhoid fever, thought he could break it." The next several days

he continues to write about his sickness, the visitors, Dr.

coming, and how high his fever is getting. Jan. 23rd 1871, "Dr.

Bible published by H. & E. Phinney in Cooperstown, New York,

dated 1825. Contains family history data for the GROAT and

PUFFER families. The earliest entry is 1795 and the latest is

1846. It looks like someone tried to erase some of the family

history but it can still be read. [Editor's Note: Following is

my transcription of the image of one page of records.]

Lewis GROAT was Born April the 15th 1795

Arvilla GROAT was Born July the 18, 1790?

I would be happy to send any of these to someone who can

show kinship. E-mail me with "Funeral card" in the subject line.

o At an antique shop here in San Diego I picked up a photo

(4" x 6.5") which was made at H. Schumacher Studio, 186 William

St., Newark, New Jersey. It portrays a middle-aged man, who has

curly hair with a wave in the center which tries to hide his

approaching baldness. He has a handle-bar moustache and is

wearing a heavy suit, rolled collar, with a gold chain attached

to a watch in the vest pocket, white shirt and collar. On the

reverse side is written in pencil: Mrs. Frank HOELLE, 522 Cen

Ave., Newark, New Jersey. Other meaningless (to me) markings-

Agt to 141, B5, My93t461. The 93 might indicate the year the

photo was taken. I assume that the man is Frank HOELLE. The shop

has other photos which might be of the same family since they

show New Jersey markings. I will be glad to mail to anyone who

can establish a probable relationship.

o I look for items from Woburn, Massachusetts and ran across

this high school class ring from 1938. I asked the seller if it

was engraved with a name, and he noted that there were initials

"E.M.H." The reference librarian in Woburn found two names in

the Class of 1938 with these initials, both women: Edna Mae

HUTCHINSON and Elizabeth M. HICKEY.

o While on business in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, a

friend and customer of my husband gave me the Bible described

below to try to find a family to which it might mean something.

It was found in her husband's store after he died some years

ago (Newsom Oil). I have no interest in this particular Bible

other than finding a related family who would want to have it,

only for the cost of postage or UPS delivery.

The Bible is The People's Standard Edition of the Holy Bible

printed by WM. Garretson & Co. (sold by subscription only)

66 North Fourth Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. "Entered

according to Act of Congress in the year 1876 by Bradley & Co."

The family information includes the birth dates of E. H. KINKER

(1830) and Lucy KINKER (1832) and their children, beginning with

Sarah Alice in 1855 and ending with James Emmett in 1878. The

last death listed is that of Mary E. BOWEN (her married name,

surely, as there is a Mary E. listed in the KINKER births). In

addition, there are letters from Southside Virginia (Petersburg

and Ebony) and several pictures, some of which have names

written on the back. There are also several newspaper clippings

that might prove of interest, particularly the obituary of

Fitzhugh L. BOWEN.

o I rescued two items from a yard sale in Indianapolis,

Indiana, and would like to reunite them with descendants. I

would like cost of items and postage which most likely will be

$3-$6, depending on preferred method of mailing.

-- Photo of an older gentleman and a young boy about 10 years

old. The 5x7 photo appears to be a copy of an original. On the

back is written: Line 1: "Toots PRYOR WALLS"; Line 2: "Grandpa

BOWMAN Mom PRYOR"; Line 3: "Dad"; Line 4: "Ben BOWMAN"; Line 5:

"John H. LESTER son of Toots"; Line 6: "1947"

-- Diploma with photo from the Royal Beauty Academy awarded

to Alene BRIDGES on April 6, 1940. According to the person who

had these items, this diploma was obtained at an estate auction.

He was told that this individual had no heirs. Maybe there is at

least a niece or nephew who might want this.

o There is a beautiful leather photograph album in the shape

of a box with a lid in the "Golden Memories" store in Dahlonega,

Georgia. There were several photographs in the album in

excellent condition. The price is $65. The inscription states:

"Edna RAWSON with love of Ida NEWTON, August 9, 1887." I was

with a bus group and had no time to research further. The owners

of the store are Mary & Don Miller at 770-536-8337, or e-mail:

josiem1020@yahoo.com. This would be a priceless find for some

family member.

Item # 1564491284; Auction ends: Sep-25-02 19:24:27 PDT

Seller: mr.books

Bible published by Jesper Harding, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,

1849. James REED of Matamoras, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, was

the original owner. The family record section notes his marriage

to Julia A. STEES three years previous (1846?). The birth

sections give the couple's ages, his being 27 and hers 29.

According to the family record section, a son William was born

to them the year the Bible was published (1849). Another son,

John, was born the next year (1850). James REED's death is

recorded three years later when he was only 31 (1852?).

attempting to fathom the seller's prose, here abbreviated.]

travel diary described above.] She writes of Hitler, Mussolini,

and the "situation in Europe." One entry "Hitler must be mad."

The attack on Pearl Harbor is entered. There are also bits on

New York politics. Throughout most of the diaries, she was a

nurse (or companion, but she mentions working in a hospital) to

Mrs. GULLIVER of 1148 5th Ave., NYC. I [seller] did a little

research, and there is a Mrs. William C. GULLIVER (same address)

listed in the 1930 Blue Book of New York Society. She also

mentions Ashbel GULLIVER (and has entries from New Haven,

Connecticut), who a Dean of Law at Yale. Among the many names

o Recently I found among family papers an item cut from a

Hyannis, Massachusetts newspaper, I think sometime in 1897.

The item is titled "Jewels for the Princess" and mentions

Princess Louisa, bride of the Duke of Fife; Dr. David Bartlett

GOULD of 130 Hester St., New York; and his great-grandmother,

Helen Taylor BARTLETT, of Forrester Hall. It talks about handing

down the old family jewels which were the property of Lady

BRACE, who died in 1718. Since I find no connection with my

husband's family, I will gladly pass it along to anyone

interested who can prove a relationship.

o I have five old photographs that belong to my neighbor. I

am trying to help her find out who, where and when about them.

She has had them for about 30 years but cannot remember where

she got them. She believes they are part of the history of the

ROLLER or MOORE families from east Tennessee or the BENTON

family of Scott County, Virginia.

1. A black and white portrait of a very pretty elderly lady

wearing a black dress with buttons around the edge of its white

collar. No other identification.

2. Small black and white paper photo pasted onto stiff board.

Young lady in a black dress with a stiff ruffle collar and what

looks like a watch chain across her chest. She is standing in

front of a field scene and white column, with one hand resting

on some kind of tall skinny haystack. No other identification.

3. Small black and white paper photo pasted onto stiff board.

Young girl sitting on a stool, holding a banjo. Name on bottom

of card: "Daisy BELMONT"

4. Two small black and white paper photos pasted onto stiff

board. Twins possibly, infants, one boy, one girl, I think, both

seated and wearing dresses. These two do have the name and

address of the photographer, I think: C. F. COOK, ? South Main

Street, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

If you recognize any of these or think you might be able to

help identify them, please contact me.

75+ letters from the HIMMELHOCH and CASE family. Most of the

letters date in the 1920s. Nearly all have envelopes and stamps;

maybe a dozen do not have envelopes. [Editor's Note: In response

to my request for more information, seller wrote: This is a set

of correspondence 'amongst' a family. I have not ready nearly

everything, but the father appears to have been Ralph HIMMELHOCH

of Chicago, [Illinois]. There are many letters addressed to him.

There is a Leland CASE (St. Paul, Minnesota) who evidently

attended Macalister College. There is also a Carol CASE. Letters

are addressed to her in Hot Springs, South Dakota. I just came

across a letter addressed to Carol CASE GODDARD."]

Matrimony page of this couple's marriage, other marriages,

births, and a very detailed Deaths page. It also has several

loose articles such as newspaper clippings mentioning DOANE

o FAUST and BOHLING German Family Correspondence

Item # 717527337; Auction ends: Oct-01-02 10:06:53 PDT

Seller: deny0 (Edinburgh, UK)

This is a family correspondence lot, with around 80 letters

and cards sent from FPO locations or from inside Germany during

WWII, and around 200 letters, cards, and postcards sent after

the war up to 1970s. Not all letters are in their original

covers. These letters are from an extended family (brothers,

cousins) and there are letters (or cards) from WWI and 1920s

too (but not many). The main names are Paul FAUST and BOHLING.

It seems that FAUST was the main branch of the family, and they

were based in Hamburg. After WWII, another branch of the family

remained in GDR and most of the letters sent after 1945 are from

GDR to Paul FAUST who survived the war. It seems that he died in

1970s. I think that some letters are from friends or more

distant relatives, as there are other names too.

o I have three photo cards of William Henry FREER and mother

Clara (DEBUS) FREER. They were taken in 1914, 1915, and 1916.

William Henry FREER was born 10 July 1914 in Battle creek,

Michigan. I have found from Social Security records that he

lived in Jackson, Michigan in 1938. I would like to send photos

to descendants of his and maybe find out how they were connected

to our family. These cards were originally sent to a great-aunt,

Pauline Mutz RICH, in Indiana.

o My neighbor was getting rid of a lot of old books, and

inside one was a postcard (written in pencil) dated 29 July

1944. It was sent to Melba LUKENS, E. State Street, Doylestown,

Pennsylvania, by her mother, who was visiting Washington, D.C.

The salutation was "Dear Melba and Mac" (or possibly Mae).

Melba's mother asks if Father is eating right.

I would love to see this postcard find its rightful home, so

if you know Melba or her family, please let me know. Please use

"Melba" as the subject of your reply.

o I have three OHIO school photos that belonged to my great-

grandma, Violet FOOTE. Two photos have student names but no

town; the third photo has Millersburg, O. on the front, but no

student names. She was born in 1898 in Cincinnati, Ohio so these

were taken somewhere near there between 1910-1914, and were

multi-aged classes. Here are the names from the first photo (she

might have spelled some wrong): Adrian CONN, John RICH, Mirl

ZUERGLE, William DUANE, Violet FOOTE, Dora LOCKHART, Homer

LEACH, Paul LLOYD, Omer BRAINARD, Jesse RICH, Raymond

VALENZUELA, Alvin LOCKHART, John BANISTER, Franklin LEAF, Byod

LEAF, Louie VALENZUELA, Wallace McBRIDE, Carrie BECK, Blanche

DUANE, Minnie CAST or CUST, Margrette ZUERGLE, Mary BANISTER,

LOCKHART. The other photo has the names; Miss COBB, Willie

DUANE, Harry GOMEZ, Alvin GROSS, Abbie H., Violet FOOTE,

Catherine YEAGER, Paul LLOYD, Lawrence CORMACK, George BIRTSCH,

Homer LEACH, Ruth HENDERSON, Dora LOCKHART, Georgia VALENZUELA,

Rose SUENTURIER, Howard LEAF, Wallace McBRIDE, Zella SMITH,

Freddie H., Ralph MEADOWS, Carrie BECK, Blanche DUANE. The

names appear to be written in order from left to right, back row

to front row, although there are 37 kids in the first photo and

only 35 names, and two of the 35 are illegible due to a piece of

the corner being torn off. I would be happy to scan and e-mail

this photo to any interested parties. Please put CLASS PHOTOS

or SOMEBODY'S LINK in the subject of the email. Thanks.

o I found a matching set of photos, apparently dating from the

late 1800s, in an antique store called The Miner's Daughter in

Calumet, Michigan. The proprietress told me she acquired them

locally. On the back of the photos is information that Rush

THOMPSON was the son of Caleb THOMPSON and father of Wilber,

grandfather of Edward, great-grandfather of John. Helen Chapin

THOMPSON was the wife of Rush THOMPSON and mother of Wilber. It

would be nice to see these photos reunited with the family. If

you are interested, please contact the store at (906) 337-4275.
