This photo has been claimed by Ira Cornelius' family. This photo was found in a central Texas antique store. Written on the back: Milo Casebere and Ira Cornelius, Oneida, Wisconsin. According to Ira's family, Milo Casebere worked at the Indian School that Ira attended.

Found in an antique store in Texas. From the expression on her face and the way she's kicking her feet, she must have been awfully bored.

Taken when Tom was single living at home in Shorewood.

I found this adorable baby in an antique store, but I cannot make out her last name. I'll upload a scan of her name separately so other folks can try to guess it if they want to. EDIT - There seem to be a lot of people named "Creekmur" in that area in the 19th century censuses. That's the closest match to the scribble on the back of the photo.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of David CLARK which was taken at the Bannister Studio in New Richmond, WI sometime in the 1890's early 1900's. David appears to be in his teens or 20's at the time. In addition to his name, someone has also written "Cousin to Mitchell" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding David and his family: David CLARK was b. abt 1882 in Wisconsin to parents Clarence Philip CLARK (1854-1918) and Phoebe HADLEY (1851-1926). David was one of 9 children born to this couple including, Lillian “Lilly” Dora; Maud LaPearl; David Howard; Ashabel; David; Prudence “Prudie” Rose; Buln; Ray Vaughn; and Vaughn CLARK, all born between 1874 and 1892.

I’ve “rescued” an old family photograph of three siblings taken at the Wollensak Studio in Milwaukee, WI. Their names and ages are, Otto age 16 ½; Franz age 12; and Lottie age 9 ½ with another name/word that looks like “Tafu” or “Tafo” or “Lafu” or “Lafo” or maybe the “f” is actually the “ss” seen in early handwriting? which may be “Years” in a foreign language? Or a surname? It is hard to tell but it appears after their ages so I think it could be either. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880’s or 1890’s when the studio was located at 450 National Avenue in Milwaukee. I’m hoping that this is enough information to track the family down and see the photograph returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
