A photo of Roxy (Van Kleeck) Yerry (infant) and her brother Gordon Van Kleeck (toddler) as small children. Photo probably taken about 1895. Baby Roxy looks a bit apprehensive about having her photo made. The missing lower right corner of the card would have said "Rondout, N.Y." (in Ulster County - south part of Kingston).
Date & Place:

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here.
If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.
