I’ve “rescued” two old photographs belonging to the STEVENSON Family. The first is one of George STEVENSON which was taken at the R. G. Gardner Studio in Kansas City, MO sometime in the 1880’s. George appears to be in his 50’s or 60’s at the time. Also with his name someone has also written “Ark” which may mean that he was originally from Arkansas, I just don’t know for sure. The second photograph is one of Robert N. STEVENSON taken in the 1880’s when Robert was in his teens. This second photograph doesn’t have any reference to location or photographer, however, the handwriting on the two photographs is made by the same person so I know that they are somehow connected.
I’m hoping to be able to return the photographs to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this STEVENSON Family, or you know someone who might be.
