Bessie Scales
I have an old studio photograph identified as Bessie SCALES which was taken at the D. O. Furnald Studio in Manchester, NH in the 1880's. Bessie appears to be in her teens or 20's at the time the photograph was taken. I believe that this is photograph of Elizabeth "Bessie" MURRAY SCALES. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Bessie and her family:

Elizabeth “Lizzie” or “Bessie” Josephine MURRAY was b. 1865 or 1866 in Manchester, NH to parents James MURRAY (1935-1900) and Johanna “Hannah” DALY or DALEY (1839-1913) who were married on 17 Jun 1855 in Manchester, NH. Lizzie was one of 6 children born to this couple including Nellie Helen; Mary; Rose Agnes; Elizabeth Josephine; Margaret “Maggie” T.; and Annie T. MURRAY, all born between 1857 and 1872. It appears that she married more than once including to Ernest Albert SCALES (1871-1947) on 10 Jul 1906 in Manchester, NH and then to Mr. MCAFEE after her husband’s death. Elizabeth died 21 Jul 1959 in Manchester, NH.

I would love to get the photograph back to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.

Thanks,
Shelley
Date & Place: at D. O. Furnald Studio in Manchester, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire United States
