I've "rescued" an old photograph of Tilly ENGLISH which was taken at the Sim Mould Studio in Baraboo, WI sometime in the 1890's. Tilly appears to be in her teens or 20's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Tilly and her family:

Tillie ENGLISH was b. Dec 1877 in Sauk Co. WI to parents William Thomas or Thomas William ENGLISH (1849-1922) and Irene EVANS (1854-1900). Tillie was one of 4 children born to this couple including, Tillie; Harry E.; Izer A.; and Irene V. ENGLISH, all born between 1877 and 1895. Tillie married Ashley Bassett POWELL (1856-1941). Records indicate that the couple had two children including, John W. and Silas D. POWELL born in 1898 and 1904 respectively, however, I don’t believe that Tillie married Ashley until after the 1920 census so I’m guessing that they were children from a previous marriage. Tillie died 16 Nov 1961 in Reedsburg, WI and is buried in the Walnut Hill Cemetery in Baraboo, WI.

Census records provide the following details:

I’m hoping to locate someone from Tillie’s family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,

A Japanese-American boy waiting on a San Francisco street to be "evacuated" to a detention camp.

This boy was one of 664 San Francisco residents of Japanese ancestry sent "to be housed in a war relocation authority center for the duration". This was in June of 1942, 7 months after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

There are many other pictures of Manzanar, a relocation camp, on AncientFaces.

Postcard showing full-length portrait of a woman, standing, facing front, wearing hat and short skirt. The photo is labelled "Butler Cafe Revue", Seattle, and "Mushet" - perhaps her stage name?

UPDATE: Turns out Robert Mushet was a popular photographer in the early 1900s.

This photo was found in my grandmothers belongings. It looks to be a rite of passage in some way. Maybe a wedding, although the gentleman looks quite young. Maybe a graduation since they are holding some sort of certificate. If anyone has any idea please contact me at [contact link]
Thanks.

This photo was found in my grandmothers belongings. We assume this photo is of someone in her family, but I've been unable to locate anyone who knows. I'm hoping this site will help me find out who these people are. My grandmothers name was (Laura) Jane Thrasher Perry Coe Smith. Born 1892 in Goodman, McDonald, Missouri to J. Lewis Thrasher and Rachel Kinslow Thrasher. I have passed the picture to known members of the Thrasher family and have had no luck. I'm hoping one of you will know.
