Unknown women

Looks like it could be a mother and daughter. Since it was behind another framed picture, I presume it was placed there to protect it. This may have been a picture of relatives in the front (cover) picture. A little sleuthing as to people who lived in Chillicothe up through 1950 may provide clues as to identity. Is there a local genealogist or museum who might be able to help?

I'm sure this has meaning for their descendants somewhere. At the very least, it should be preserved from further deterioration. I would put it under glass and consult a local photo restoration craftsperson. You can also take a high-resolution digital photo of it to help preserve it. Good luck.

Hi Pearl, we are discussing your photo on the Family Tree Magazine page. Many people have great ideas on how to find who these ladies are: . We hope you find their family (or families)!

No, my family had the frame. My mother;s photo was in the front. Someone probably gave her this frame and I don't know if she knew this photo was in the back between two cardboard sheets. I found it after she passed. We knew almost everyone in Chillicothe though and my older sisters don't have an idea of who they could be. I don't need this, just wanted to see if there was anything I could do to stop the deteriorating and if there is a home for large lost photos like this. I will contact the museum there and see if they are interested. Thank you for your comments.

Very nice picture. I hope you can identify who they are.
