Great grandmother Chlista was wearing a black skirt holding something in her left hand--a cane?1911 was the year her last child was born- a girl who has living descendants on my DNA match list

Found in an antique store. Written on the back: "Orrell C. Reed, Orpha's mother". The original photo was a bit faded so I retouched it slightly.

A photo of Sarah E. Miller

Home of Charles Miller & Kate Short Grove reconstructed after original was destroyed in a tornado in 1893. Later became the home of John and Margaret Grove until ca. 1941. This original site was on 160 acres of land granted to William Y. Grove for his service in the Union Army during the Civil War.

Postcard found at an antique show. Handwriting on the back is addressed to Mr. Floyd Ball, 810 W. Pine St., Independence, Kansas. "Dear Brother, I will send you a picture we had taken the 22 of Oct. Is it very cold there now and do you go very much in your chair or is it to [sic] cold roll over and see me some day. Bye Bye now." Very annoying that none of the people IN the photo are named. They sure are proud of that nice car.

Cities Services gas station. Owned with husband Percy in the 1940's.

Found in an antique store in Belton, Texas. According to the visible product labels, Independence Biscuit Company was based in Independence, Kansas and made "cakes, crackers and biscuits". This photo shows an assembly line of workers packaging what appear to be biscuits or large crackers. The product may have been baked in the same room - there are scorch marks on the brick wall nn the left foreground that may be an oven. I would guess that this photo was taken sometime in the early 20th century. It's hard to say exactly when because everybody is wearing work clothes - not exactly the latest fashion trends.

I’ve “rescued” an old photograph identified as Ada Wilson DUNDAS which was taken at the Bollow’s Art Studio in Osborne, KS. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900’s with Ada likely in her 20’s at the time. I don’t know if “Wilson” is a middle name (maybe her Mother’s maiden name) or her own maiden name. I’m hoping to locate someone from her family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Laura CLARK which was taken at the Rollins Studio in Osborne, KS. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890’s or early 1900’s with Laura in her teens at the time it was taken. I’m hoping to locate someone from Laura’s family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this CLARK Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

A photo of Vincent Ott, Cook and proprietor of the Saddle Rock Café in Wellington, KS. ca. 1910's

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Bess HOLMES SEHON which was taken at the C. F. Lewis Studio in Lawrence, KS in the early 1900's. Bess appears to be in her teens or 20's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Bess and her family: Bess or Bessie May HOLMES was b. 27 May 1889 or 1892 and married Russel William SEHON (b. 14 Sept 1892 in Lecompton, KS-d. Mar 1964 in Douglas Co., KS – son of Charles W. SEHON and Rosena Margaret “Winnie” HILL). Bess died in 1979 in Douglas Co., KS and is buried in the Oak Hill Cemetery in Lawrence, KS. Census records provide the following details: 1915 census of Lawrence, KS: E. L. HOLMES, age 55 Paul L. HOLMES, age 28 Lily E. HOLMES, age 25 Bessie M. HOLMES, age 23 Russell SEHON, age 24 Agnes MORTON, age 22 1940 census of Wakarusa, KS: Russell W. SEHON, age 49, born KS, a Carpenter Bess SEHON, age 47, born KS, a Flour Mill Clerk I’m hoping to locate someone from her family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to the care of her family.

A photo of Frank Everett Tabor, one of 12 children born to Francis Wolford Tabor and Laura Frances Lemon, Tabor. He was their 5th child, the 4th son. I have 2 studio photo's of Everett. I can not remember if this was at 16 years old or 19. His hair was already thinning a bit, but it was in the other photo too. It's just a three year difference, so not much change either way.

I’ve “rescued” a group of five old photographs belonging to the MCCARRICK, O’CONNOR, and JOHNSON Families. The five photographs are noted as follows: 1 - Joseph MCCARRICK taken at studio in Armourdale, KS in 1870's or 1880's, about 9 years old at the time 2 - John MCCARRICK taken at studio in Armourdale, KS in 1870's or 1880's, about 8 years old at the time 3 - Nellie MCCARRICK taken at studio in Kansas City, MO in 1870's, about 1-2 years old 4 - Mrs. Anna O'CONNOR JOHNSON taken at a studio in Chicago, IL in 1880's in her 30's or 40's at the time - note photo belongs to Catherine O'CONNOR MCCARRICK of Portland, OR 5 - Katie O'CONNOR MCCARRICK of Kansas City, KS dated 1884, photo taken at studio in San Francisco, CA, in her 20's Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family: Joseph MCCARRICK was b. 1874 in Kansas to parents Bernard MCCARRICK (1819-1884) and Susan FORAN (1842-1893). Joseph was one of 8 children born this couple including, Mary Ann; Thomas; Catherine A.; Katy; Susan; John; Joseph; and M. W. MCCARRICK, all born between 1862 and 1877. Joseph died in Buffalo, NY.
