Photos we remember
Special moments of places and people captured on film and shared for us to remember.
Susan Matayosian:
I grew up staring at this photo laying on thier shag carpet growing up visiting them in Florida in the condo. Grandma had plastic on everything so I’d have to draw on floor. I know how to draw this photo by heart. I won , 3 years of Art 🖼️ Medals from drawing this .. in school.
So ironic to have the receipt to it. It might not be worth a lot in Gold.
But this painting- I still was blessed with today.
Holds my heart like nothing else from My grandparents. And the memories I hold dear.
Daniel Pinna:
A photo of Ethel Granger, who had the smallest waist size in recent history measuring in at 36-13-39.
She first put on a corset to please her husband, astronomer William Arnold Granger. And then he bought smaller and smaller corsets, asking her to wear them 24 hours a day - she complied. Her beginning waist size was 23 inches.
She made the Guinness Book of Records and was the record holder until 1998, when they changed the category to "Woman alive with the smallest waist".
Lizzy Canedy:
This is a portrait of my great-grandmother Eva Alice Canedy (nee Call). She was William Floyd Canedy's mother. I don't know much about her as my grandfather didn't know much either but she's a lovely looking woman who died far too young.
I was lucky enough to this photo negative, which itself was a copy made of the daguerreotype in the 1980s, in my family's collection. Even luckier to have a transparent media adapter attachment of a flatbed scanner. This is perhaps the first time this photo has been viewed in almost 40 years, and I'm happy to get to share it with the world.

I have an old studio photograph of Guy KETTERER which was taken at the Burkholder & Co. Studio in Orrville, OH. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Guy appearing to be about 3 years old at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Guy and his family:
Guy David Dewitt KETTERER was b. 8 Oct 1889 in Cleveland or Apple Creek, OH to parents William “Willie” KETTERER (1862-1913) and Sybil Della BARNES (1864-1942) who were married 6 May 1884 in Wayne County, OH. Guy was one of four children born to this couple including Cora E.; Baby Boy; Baby Boy; and Guy David Dewitt KETTERER, all born between 1884 and 1889. Guy married twice, first to Caroline STOCKON (1893-1931) on 2 Apr 1918 in Hillsborough County, FL and second to Anna “Annie” Margaret or Marie SANDS (1874-1958) in 1933 in Pinellas County, FL, they divorced in 1951.
Guy died 28 Jul 1955 in Tampa, FL and is buried in the Westlawn Cemetery in Mount Eaton, OH.
I would like to get this photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,

This photo is of widow Robert Waldman Longo who had two sons, Richard and William. Roberta disappeared around 1939 when her sons were babies. According to Richard, he was playing ball in his front yard when Roberta said she was going to the store. She got into a taxi and was never heard from again. Roberta's husband, William "Toots" Longo died in 1939. Roberta's mother Nellie Waldman raised the boys after Roberta disappeared. A detective named Basil Creek from the Dayton Police tried to find Roberta shortly after her disappearance to no avail. Please contact me if you have any information about Roberta. We would love to find any information about her.

I have an old studio photograph of Sebastian WILLACKER which was taken at the Pennington Studio in New Washington, OH. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's or early 1900's with Sebastian likely in his 60's at the time it was taken. He is also identified as "Cousin to Great Grandma WIETHMANS". Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Sebastian and his family:
Sebastian WILLACKER was b. 17 or 19 or 26 Mar 1830 in Nuremberg or Vasbuhl, Germany to parents Adam WILLACKER (1799-1874) and Elizabeth “Elise” or “Elsie” SCHMUCK (1803-1870) who were married 19 Aug 1823 in Vasbuhl, Germany. Sebastian was one of 19 children born to this couple including Eva; Anton; Adam; Adam; Anton; Jonas; Sebastian; Barbara; Andrew; Andrew; Eva; Eva; Kasper Boniface; Anna Elizabeth; A. M. Franzika; Anonyma; Margaret Antonia; Franz Ludwig; and George Severin WILLACKER, all born between 1824 and 1852.
Sebastian married Mary Magdalena or Madaline “Lena” KELLER (1834-1902) on 3 Sept 1854 in Vasbuhl, Germany and they had 10 children including Magdalena Philomena “Minnie”; Elizabeth “Lizzie”; Victoria Barbara; George B. or P.; Charles Sebastian; Joseph Anthony; John Henry; Mary Sheridan; Peter Alphonse; and Michael WILLACKER all born between 1855 and 1875. Sebastian died 7 or 14 or 16 or 17 Dec 1911 in Mayfield or Traverse City, MI and he is buried in the Saint Mary of Hannah Catholic Church Cemetery in Hannah, MI.
I would love to get the photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,

I have an old studio photograph identified as Meb MORRISON which was taken at the Ricklin & Brookbart Studio in Eldon, IA. The photograph was taken in 1900 with Meb appearing to be about 4 years old at the time it was taken. I believe that this is a photograph of Medburn "Meb" Creamer MORRISON and based on limited research has gathered the following information regarding Meb and his family:
Medburn “Meb” Cremer or Creamer MORRISON was b. 26 Mar 1897 in Washington, IA to parents William Blanchard MORRISON (b. 1869) and Amanda “Manda” Blanche or Blanch CREMER (b. 1872) who were married on 6 Mar 1890 in Washington Township, Wapello Co., IA. Meb was one of 5 children born to this couple including Micher D.; Mildred Hazel; Membrer G.; Medburn “Meb” Cremer or Creamer; and Hellen or Helen Irene MORRISON, all born between 1894 and 1906.
Meb was married twice, first to Florence Lettie or Letta LATTA (1899-1971) on 22 Dec 1920 in Ottumwa, IA and they had a daughter Ruth Araminta or Armita MORRISON (1921-2010). He was then married to Ann or Anna Elizabeth SCHIKORSKY (1903-1987) on 28 or 29 Apr 1936 in St. Louis County, MO. Meb died on 20 May 1969 in Portland, OR and is buried at the Lincoln Memorial Park Cemetery in Portland, OR.
I’d like to get the photograph back to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
