Sweet Puppy
Puppy named 'Jeff' belonging to Cecil Nixon

The back of this card says'This is our new pup. His hame is Jeff. He's two months old and knows two tricks now. I haven't dressed him in doll clothes yet. Cecil Nixon' and it is addressed to 'Miss Gladys Nixon, 1207 Farrel St, Butte, Mont.' It was mailed from Hamilton, Montana March 11, 1912.

I am not a Nixon descendant. These photos were in an antique shop and I like to buy identified photos to return to the families that they belong to.

If you know who belongs to these photos, please contact me so that I might send them to the rightful owners. There will be no charge. This is simply a gift.

A different kind of "found photo": the Nixon's puppy. In 1912, the Nixons were so proud of their 2 month old puppy Jeff that they took a pic - noting that he "knows two tricks now. I haven't dressed him in doll clothes yet." Do you have pictures of your past pets?
Poor puppy looks so lonesome!!!

If there's anything funnier than animals named Kevin, Jeff, Doug or Phil I don't know what it is.

Pets are loved members of the household just like family. There's a reason our pets are often called our 'best friends'.
Remembering the companions of our ancestors and those that comforted us in the past. Dog person? Cat person? That's usually the debate when it comes to pets. As of 2022, 70% of U.S. households have pe...

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
