Helen Florence Camozzy
I've "rescued" a group of photographs belonging to the CAMOZZY Family including one of Milton CAMOZZY taken at the Palace Studio in San Francisco, CA when he was just 21 months old. The second photograph is one of Helen Florence CAMOZZY taken on 26 Dec 1924 in Ellensburg, WA when she was 4 1/2 years old and a flower girl in the wedding of Ann LITCHER and Bernard SWANSON. The third photograph is one of Milton's parents Mr. & Mrs. G. G. CAMOZZY which appears to have been taken in the 1890's. This photograph is framed in a gilded frame typical of that time period.

Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family:

Milton Daniel CAMOZZY was b. 7 Jun 1899 in California to parents Gabriel G. CAMOZZI and Florence Mamie GENASCI, he married Esther R. CAMOZZY (1900-1983) and together they had two children including daughters, Bette or Betty Jean CAMOZZY b. 15 Aug 1921 in Ellensburg, WA and Florence Helen CAMOZZY WARNER who died in Ellensburg Washington in 2015. Milton died 8 May 1983 in Ellensburg, WA and is buried in the IOOF Cemetery in Ellensburg.

Gabriel G. CAMOZZI or CAMOZZY was b. Jul 1866 in Switzerland and d. 1910 and is buried in the Pine Grove Cemetery in Nevada City, CA. on 24 Dec 1895 Gabriel married Florence Mamie GENASCI who was b. 1873 in Nevada City, CA. The couple had two children, a son Milton Daniel b. 1899 and a daughter, Florence H. CAMOZZI b. 1905. After Gabriel’s death in 1905 she remarried, her second husband was Frank L. HARTMAN (1873-1934). Florence and Frank had a son, Frank HARTMAN Jr. born in 1912. Florence M. HARTMAN died 16 Sept 1934 and is buried in the IOOF Cemetery in Ellensburg, WA.

That was such a popular hair cut for little girls in those days. Such a sweet picture. My mom, born in 1914, had a similar hair cut.
