Starr is the photographer at 210 N. Eighth St. Philadelphia. The lady is wearing a celluloid hair clip, glasses, a locket and a frothy looking gown. I will guess that this photo is from around 1895.
We know now that she had blue eyes and light brown hair.
Her name was Julia A Daniels Later Mrs. Edw. S. Buckalew.
Thanks for stopping by. Do come again.I am approaching 1,000 photos real fast ..hardly seems possible. I will restart my numbering system and just add an A ..unless someone has a better idea:)
Update from Iggy:
Julia A Buckalew (b. Jan 1868 in Pennsylvania) married Edward S., a train conductor in 1895.
The couple had daugher Myrtle (b. Oct 1896 d. 25 Mar 1901) and son Edward F. (b. 7 May 1903 d. 5 May 2001 in Ontario, San Bernardino, California)
She has an ordinary look, yet she's still an elegant beauty.
ReplyDeleteNumbering? This is a lot of numbers, but if you do year, month, day, and then A,B... you can always sort if you need to.
Example: today's and tomorrow's pics would be: 20120920A, 20120920B (if you have 2 pics today) and tomorrow's would be 20120921.
I certainly enjoy you sharing the old forgotten photos, Connie. I love her hair clip.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand. What's wrong with 1000, 1001, 1002?
ReplyDeleteMrs. Buckalew was a local gal. I'll have to see what I can find.
Nothing is wrong with the larger numbers..and I will keep on with them just like I have been..thanks for the input:)

There is a family tree in Ancestry.Com
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/32882435/person/18375521665
that already shows this photo.
Sounds like this one will be a candidate for a really fast Full Circle trip, thanks to all that information and Iggy's discovery!
ReplyDeleteI like the numbering system the way it is! Kind of gives a sense of accomplishment to see how many orphan photos you are rescuing. :)
She looks so much like my neighbor across the street that it's downright uncanny.
ReplyDeleteIggy does it again!
I have seen that sort of mantle in other photographs and I think it is a fancy sort of cape. I do not know how well it provided warmth.
