Louis M. Fetherston
I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Louis M. FETHERSTON which was taken at the McDonald Studio in South Bend, IN. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900’s with Louis likely in his 20’s or 30’s at the time it was taken. In addition to his name, he has also written “Very Sincerely Yours” on the back of the photograph along with his name. Based on limited research I was able to locate him in census records as follows:
1900 census of Washington, IA:
Mary FETHERSTON, age 51, born Jan 1849, a widow, 4 children/4 living, born Ireland, parents born Ireland, to USA 1886
Mary FETHERSTON, dau, age 26, born Feb 1874, born England, parents born Ireland, to USA 1886, a Teacher
Maggie FETHERSTON, dau, age 24, born Mar 1876, born England, parents born Ireland, to USA 1886, a Teacher
George FETHERSTON, son, age 22, born Mar 1878, born England, parents born Ireland, to USA 1880, a Salesman
Louis FETHERSTON, son, age 20, born Feb 1880, born England, parents born Ireland, to USA 1880, at School
1910 census of Chicago, IL:
Louis M. FETHERSTON, age 31, married 1 year, born England, parents born Ireland, to USA 1886, a Telephone Co. Agent
Isabel FETHERSTON, wife, age 30, married 1 year, born MI, parents born Ireland
1920 census of Chicago, IL:

Isabelle FETHERSTON, wife, age 41, born MI, parents born Ireland/Canada, a Public Welfare Speaker
1930 census of Chicago, IL:
Louis M. FETHERSTON, age 50, married at age 30, born England, parents born Ireland, a Telephone Subscriber Agent
Isabel FETHERSTON, wife, age 50, married at age 30, born MI, parents born Canada/MI, a Welfare Public Speaker
1940 census of Chicago, IL:
Louis FEATHERSTON, age 59, a widower, born England, Telephone Co. Assistant to President
Mary FEATHERSTON, sister, age 60, born England
I’m hoping to locate someone from his family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of his family. If you are a member of this FETHERSTON family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
