Charles Thomas
I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Charles THOMAS of Pataskala, OH which was taken at the H. M. Platt Studio in Oberlin, OH. The photograph is dated 2 May 1879 with the young man likely in his 20’s at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Charles and his family:
Charles Edwin THOMAS was b. 15 Dec 1861 in Ohio to parents Charles Rees THOMAS (b. 30 Apr 1836 in Harrison Township, Licking Co. OH-d. 26 Apr 1882 Harrison Township, Licking Co. OH – son of Samuel THOMAS and Catherine JONES) and Sarah Isabelle “Belle” LOITMARS or DITMARS or FAIRY (1841-1929) and died in Harrison, OH and is buried in the Pataskala Cemetery in Pataskala, OH along with his parents. Charles was one of 9 children born to this couple including, Charles Edwin; Clara; William; Chenia “Clennie” Alfred; Frank J.; Estella; Armina “Minnie” Belle; Nora Catherine or R.; and Fannie May THOMAS all children born between 1861 and 1879.
Census records provide the following details:
1900 census of Harrison, OH:
Belle THOMAS, age 58, born Oct 1841, a widow, 6 children/6 living, born OH, parents born NJ/OH
Charles E. THOMAS, son, age 38, born Dec 1861, born OH, parents born OH
Fannie M. THOMAS, dau, age 20, born Oct 1879, born OH, parents born OH
+ 1 Lodger
I am hoping to locate someone from this THOMAS Family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
