June 1903 Maud Gudworth Cudworth Johnie Myrtel Lindersmith Lindesmith
The photo is of Johnnie and Myrtle Lindesmith it was most likely sent to Maud Cudworth.  It is Johnnies' hand writing on the back of the photo

I wonder what ever happened to Maud and Johnie?
Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Iggy:
In 1910, Maud Cudworth lived in Richland, Douglas, Missouri with her husband Charles. Johnnie and his wife Myrtle Lindesmith, lived nearby in Brush Creek, Douglas, Missouri.

This Johnnie was John Ira Lindesmith.

From the obit I found out that Johnnie was born in 1878 and died in 1924.  He married Myrtle Nora Pease in 1899.  They had three children; Maymie Joyce, Eva Bea and Lyle Jasper.
Johnnie was a teacher.

This photo went Full Circle 117 on May 2 2015

  1. The best I can make out of the names is this. In 1910, Maud Cudworth lived in Richland, Douglas, Missouri with her husband Charles. Johnnie and his wife Myrtle Lindesmith, lived nearby in Brush Creek, Douglas, Missouri.

    This Johnnie was John Ira Lindesmith and he has a big write up in Find A Grave. There is a link there to even more information.

    How they (if they are even "them") are related, I don't know.

  4. Oh, wow! Before our very eyes: a Full Circle in the making--in less than 24 hours. Now there's a record!

    Of course, the interesting thing is that, had Mary Jo not been doing so much extensive volunteer work at Find A Grave, perhaps you wouldn't have been able to make such a quick connection--or one at all--with the volunteer work you do here!
