John Danforth Williamson

I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as John Danforth WILLIAMSON which came from the Stanton Studio in Springfield, OH. John's age is noted as 2 years and it is dated 7 Feb 1909. This was a studio that provided mail order photographs through newspaper advertising, so it is likely that John is not from Ohio. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding John and his family:

John Danforth WILLIAMSON was b. 1 Feb 1907 in Alpina, SD to parents Rev. Jesse Philander WILLIAMSON (1872-1941) and Ada “Addie” Melissa JORDAN (b. 1878). John had one sibling, a sister Helen or Hellen Lois WILLIAMSON (1910-1933). John married Grace Lucille HARRIS (1909-2002) and together they had two children. John died 25 May 1932 in Beadle, SD.

I am hoping to locate someone from John’s family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to the care of his family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley
