Stone family photos

A photo of Catherine “Kate” Lahiff who was born in 1866 on board a ship that was in Australian waters, hence she always referred to herself as Australian but she was very much Irish. In her lifetime she traveled to Australia as a domestic servant, lived in Providence, Rhode Island as a helper to her aunt Honora Lahiff McMahon, and married Henry Stone of England settling in New York for the remainder of her life. She and her husband continued to travel making three trips abroad to England and France. They had four children including Cecil McClintock Stone, John Henry Stone, Charlotte Agnes Stone (Taylor) and Cyril Granville Stone. Her sorrow included losing John Henry at 18 months to meningitis and losing her oldest son Cecil when he disappeared in 1928. He was never heard from again. Some described her as somewhat cold and unloving but her childhood left little time for nurturing and she learned to deal with life in a matter of fact way. She did adore Cecil and had high hopes for him. She encouraged his musical talents and he was often featured in local talent shows. Her husband Henry was a keen business man and she never again experienced the poverty of her youth.

This is my great grandfather Yarbrough on my mothers side. His first name is unknown (Elijah H Yarbrough?), as is the date and location of the photo. My mother's name is Nancy Sue (Cooper) Farris. Her mother was Berta Mae (Yarbrough) Cooper. Judy (Yarbrough) Stone was my grandmother Berta Mae's sister and another sister was Roxy (Yarbrough) Butts. The Bridger name is thick within the Yarbrough's & Coopers. They are a fun lot - the men wear kilts at the family reunions- it was brilliant. Do you know who this man was? -kfarrisjx@gmail.com will get you to me- :)

Great Aunt Margaret Barker was the last of the James Barker and Patsey Love Emmet family of Shawneetown, Illinois. She was the only one who stayed back East. She brought her only child Josie to California to meet Uncle Thomas, Aunt Mary & Uncle Ab, Aunt Becky, and my grandparents. I never met Aunt Margaret. She died in 1921. Josie sent me this picture in 1939.
