Thanks for stopping by.

Possibly Emma Jane Sanders (b. 1876 or 1877) married twice:

George Frutig, married on 16 Aug 1900. He died 3 May 1908.

John Franklin Mosher (Find A Grave Memorial# 106368612), who she married on 29 Jul 1914. This was his 2nd (at least) marriage.

She isn't mentioned on John's Find A Grave Memorial - she may have married again?

No 49 Elbridge Twp Sec 21      Geo Tate  Tigris Mich

C  B  10 x20 and then it is stamped 1949 which is most likely a photograph number.

Thanks for stopping by.

Update from MJM:

There is a place called Tigris located in Oceana County, MI. I found a family living in Elbridge Township, Oceana County, MI on the 1870 census. It looks like the word Elbridge is on the photo. The family members were George, age 28, born in Scotland; Sophronia, 20, Canada; Edward 2, MI; George A, 9 mo., MI; and Alfred, 9 mo., MI.

A young man with a big old handlebar moustache!  The top button is buttoned on his suit coat so I will guess this photo was taken about 1885.


The name in pencil is hard to see it says Fred Allison.  The photographer was Moore at 158 Main Street Middletown, Conn
Thanks for stopping by.

Update from Jacqi:
I found Frederick Allison, born around 1853 in CT, living in the home of his parents in Middletown in both the 1860 and 1870 census enumerations. His parents were listed as Samuel S. and Frances A. Allison. He apparently also had several siblings.

Interestingly enough, I also found a Frederick Allison of about the same age listed, later, in northern California. Since a lot of Craig's collection seems to link to people in California, I thought I'd check that out.

The "1900 census" showed Fred P. Allison, born 1853 in CT, living in Jenny Lind, a small foothill community in Calaveras County in northern CA. Along with him were his wife, Kate, and two sons: 9 year old Greenfield S. Allison and 6 year old Philip L. Allison.

Fred apparently died 28 Mar 1933 in Calaveras County. Kate, however, showed up in the 1940 census somewhere in the same county I live in, in a farming community called Linden. Although our county is somewhat of a genealogical black hole for popular commercial genealogy companies, our genealogical society has been active in helping gather records of use to researchers. Some of those have made their way on to FamilySearch.org, where our members made a concerted effort to help index them for online use.

One entry, in particular, gleaned the details from "her Feb 17, 1942, obituary": "of Linden, blind."

Another provided a digitized copy of "her death certificate", with the informant listed as "S. G. Allison," perhaps her son Greenfield. Interestingly enough, though the certificate shows her mother's name as "unknown," her father's name was Jacob Greenfield.

I couldn't find any burial information for your guy Fred. Katherine, however, was possibly cremated, and the cert doesn't indicate where her cremains were left. Still, if it seems likely that the Fred in the photograph headed west with his bride from CT and ended up in Gold Rush territory (albeit quite late), then at least we have the starting point for a Full Circle story with the names of Fred's two sons.

This was almost a Full Circle instead it is a Real Photo Postcard from Debbie.

Ruth Schivalm/Schwalm ?

The photographer was Carl O Erickson of St Paul Minn.

It is a NOKO postcard used from 1907 to 1920.

Update from MJM:

From Minnesota birth records: Ruth Marie Schwalm born 31 Dec 1899 St Paul, MN. Father Wilhelm Schwalm, mother Hulda Tetzlaff.

Update from Iggy:

Ruth Schwalm lived in Ramsey County, Minnesota in 1920. She was the head of the household's daughter, 20 years old, and identified as white. Ruth was born in Minnesota around 1900, and both of her parents were born in Germany. One parent was named William Schwalm. In 1920, Ruth was not married. She had three siblings named Louise, Henry, and Alfred. She could read and write.

Now for the rest of the story.

Photo Number 1459.  Arlene Wiener

I sent a copy of this blog post to Donald (Arlenes Son) in late January of 2014.
I got a note in June 2016 and it has been sitting on my desk.  I am finally around to it!

Debbie wrote:
I have only recently found this letter.  This is a picture of Arlene as stated.  I have a copy of this hanging in my dining room!!  Her father was an electrician and her mother a power seamstress.  Arlene married Clarence Kammerer and they had five kids (2 boys and 3 girls).
I am enclosing a picture for your use.  Perhaps you can use this.  I have no idea who this is or what year.  There is a name on the back and a St Paul photograph.
I do not need info of this person as I don’t see her in any family tree on either side of my family.
Best Wishes, Debbie

So it is not technically a Full Circle, the photo is still available to other relatives.  I was surprised that Debbie didn’t want it to give to a cousin or as an extra to hand down.

J M Lenz was the photographer in Davenport.  Iowa most likely.  Yes I found him in Iowa.

Hans Meeves

He looks to me like he is about 20 yeats old and the photo was taken about 1885.  The button on the top of the suit coat is the only one buttoned which is very typical of that time period.

The following photos are unidentified photos from blog reader Teresa.  She sent me digital copies and will return photos to relatives if they are claimed.

A First Communion photo from a Studio in Toledo Ohio, possibly a relative by the last name of Drozd.

1920’s possible Oberts relative

This one is an unknown Obert’s wedding.   I think the groom is in the previous photo.  It was taken in Washburn Wisconsin most likely in the late 1920’s.

This photo is most likely from the same Johnson Studio in Washburn Wisconsin.  It is also a possible relative named Obert. I think it is from about 1918 or 1919.  Skirts were shorter then and flower bouquets were still large.

Teresa wrote:
These are the ones I have that I can't ID for sure. The 2 from Johnson Studio are likely from Wisconsin (one says Washburn) but the others may either be from Wisconsin, Ohio (one from Toledo) or even sent from overseas (likely Poland). The names Oberts and Drozd and dates are just guesses.
And yes, I'll have the originals (they are at my parents' house).
Some pretty great photos!

I don’t think any are foreign photos.

Full Circle 151

This Full Circle began when I found a Granddaughters address and mailed her a copy of the blog.

Darlene Chayer  Photo Number 2313

Hello!  This is Kristel , and I received some exciting mail from you today!  I have never seen a baby picture of my Grandma Darlene before, and it gave me goosebumps!  Darlene (Chayer) Anderson, was my Dad's mother.  Sounds like this was traced back to me through my Dad's obituary...Michael Anderson.  The thing I can remember most about my Grandma Darlene, was her apple pies and apple bars!  They were her staple dessert and a treat she always had at holidays.  Holidays were the best at Grandma's house.  It was a place where we cousins would try to all pile on the couch and claim the best spot.  She is missed dearly.  Thank you for this wonderful surprise!
Sincerely,
Kristel

I mailed off the photo to Kristel in August.  I heard from her last week.

She wrote:  Thank you so much for the nice surprise photo of my Grandma Darlene Chayer a while back!  Here is some cash for the postage and handling…a very cool thing you do!  Sincerely Kristel
