Claron Wagar Heldrum

"Claron Wagar Heldrum, age one year, 1901" Handwritten on back

Claron was born June 1, 1899 in Illinois to Thomas M. and Abby Wagar Meldrum. His WWI Draft Registration was completed in Los Angeles, CA, and he died there on Sept. 26, 1954. Claron is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, VA.

Back of photo says he was 1 year old in 1901, date of birth is listed as 1899. Not sure which is right.

Photo found in an antique store, and I am not related to the people included in the photo.

Date & Place: January 1901 at Mayo Photography in W 63rd St., Chicago, Illinois USA

My life-time love of geneology and old photos led to the concept of Ancientfaces back in 1999....through the site I have made contact with previously unknown cousins in Australia, Tasmania, England, Scotland and various states in the US, broadening and enriching my family stories, photos and family relationships. The names I am researching resided in and/or settled the following areas: South Wales; Scotland; Northern Ireland; Normandy; Germany, Belgium & the Netherlands; Virginia; West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Idaho and Washington state; first wave of settlers in the Hudson River & Mohawk River Vallies; founding fathers of New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties, CT, along with Suffolk, Norfolk & Middlesex Counties in MA; first wave of settlers to Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Also, I am a member of the Mayflower Society after tracing my maternal side to John Billington, a Mayflower passenger ( with his family) who settled in Plymouth , and signed, the Mayflower compact.
