Claud F. Decker
I have an old studio photograph of Claud F. DECKER which was taken at the Sullivan Bros. Studio in Hudson, NY. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900’s with Claud just an infant at the time. The photograph was gifted to Fannie WILCOX. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Claud and his family:
Claud or Claude Frederick DECKER was b. 25 Apr 1908 in New York to parents Frederick W. DECKER (1867-1929) and Laura MURCH (1870-1959) who were married in 1887. Claud had one sibling, a brother Harold “Harry” William DECKER (1888-1963). Claud married Ruth D. JACKSON (b. 1913). Claude died 21 Dec 1981 in Clearwater, FL.
I am hoping to locate someone from Claud’s family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
