Bessie Pearl (Huntress) Cameron Gilbert 1883 - 1953
Bessie Pearl (Huntress) Gilbert was born on February 16, 1883 in San Francisco, California United States, and died at age 70 years old on November 22, 1953.
I have an old studio photograph of Bessie Pearl HUNTRESS which is dated 7 Apr 1884 and was taken at the L. Dowe Studio in San Francisco, CA. She appears to be about 1-2 years old at the time the photograph was taken. The photograph also appears to have been gifted "To Mrs. BLACKWELL". Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Bessie and her family:
Bessie Pearl HUNTRESS was b. 16 Feb 1883 in San Francisco, CA to parents Oscar Peter HUNTRESS (1847-1910) and Harriet “Hattie” E. G. SPENCER (1862-1910) who were married 6 May 1882 in San Jose, CA. Bessie was one of 6 children born to this couple including Bessie Pearl; Baby Girl; Mary Dolores; Georgia or Georgianna Lulu or Lula; Baby Boy; and Helen or Henrietta Harriet HUNTRESS, all born between 1883 and 1895. Bessie’s father had a child from an earlier marriage, Herbert Channing HUNTRESS (1869-1930).
Bessie married James B. or E. CAMERON (1877-1913) on 21 Jan 1904 in San Jose, CA and they had four children including Adelaide “Ada” or “Addie” Bessie; Alfred; Lauder or Lander Charles; and Christina CAMERON, all born between 1906 and 1909. Bessie also married a second time to Raymond “Ray” Martin GILBERT (1882-1981) on 29 May 1918 in San Francisco, CA. Bessie died 22 Nov 1953 in Santa Clara County, CA.
I’d like to get this photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley
