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. David died 29 Dec 1950 in Los Angeles, CA.
Census records provide the following details:
1910 census of Glenwood, WI:
Clarence CLARK, age 56, married 35 years, born WI, parents born NY, a Stone Works Mason
Phoebe CLARK, wife, age 55, married 35 years, 6 children/5 living, born NY, parents born NY
David CLARK, son, age 28, born WI, a Farm Work Laborer
Bulu CLARK, dau, age 27, born WI
Vaughn CLARK, son, age 18, born WI
I’m hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this CLARK Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley

John was listed as divorced at the time and 29 years old.

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.

I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the SMITH Family of Wisconsin. The first is one of Leonard and Emma SMITH which was taken at the Sawyer Studio in Horicon, WI. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with the couple in their teens or 20's at the time. The second photograph is one of Morris SMITH which was taken at the Mason's Art Gallery in Marshfield, WI. This photograph was also taken in the 1890's with Morris just an infant at the time. In addition to his name, someone has written "died at Marshfield" on the back of the photograph.
Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this SMITH Family:
Leonard John SMITH was b. 2 Jan 1875 in Iron Mountain, WI to parents William SMITH (1837-1916) and Anna Marie LATCH (1846-1896). Leonard was one of 9 children born to this couple including, Caroline; Ruebin; Dagmer; Leonard J.; Florence; Hallie; Willie; Arthur; and Sidney SMITH all born between 1868 and 1882. Leonard married Emma CUNDY (1879-1944) and together they had 5 children including, Morris H.; Alma Alice; Alfred Hiram; Ellen May; and Carol Emma SMITH, all born between 1899 and 1921. Leonard d. 23 Jan 1970 in Port Edwards, WI and is buried in the Hillside Cemetery in Marshfield, WI.
Emma CUNDY was b. 28 Oct 1879 in Champion, MI to parents Thomas CUNDY (1852-1916) and Emma HILL (1853-1942). Emma married Leonard John SMITH (1875-1970) and she died 12 Jun 1944 and is also buried in the Hillside Cemetery in Marshfield, WI.
Morris H. SMITH was b. 10 Jul 1898 and joined the Army in 1916 and later noted as disabled with TB. Morris’ occupation was noted in records as Mail Clerk. Morris was noted in military records as the son of Lemar J. SMITH and Emma C. SMITH both of Marshfield, WI. Morris d. 27 Sept 1928 and is buried in the Hillside Cemetery in Marshfield, WI.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Tilly ENGLISH which was taken at the Sim Mould Studio in Baraboo, WI sometime in the 1890's. Tilly 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 Tilly and her family:
Tillie ENGLISH was b. Dec 1877 in Sauk Co. WI to parents William Thomas or Thomas William ENGLISH (1849-1922) and Irene EVANS (1854-1900). Tillie was one of 4 children born to this couple including, Tillie; Harry E.; Izer A.; and Irene V. ENGLISH, all born between 1877 and 1895. Tillie married Ashley Bassett POWELL (1856-1941). Records indicate that the couple had two children including, John W. and Silas D. POWELL born in 1898 and 1904 respectively, however, I don’t believe that Tillie married Ashley until after the 1920 census so I’m guessing that they were children from a previous marriage. Tillie died 16 Nov 1961 in Reedsburg, WI and is buried in the Walnut Hill Cemetery in Baraboo, WI.
Census records provide the following details:
1880 census of Baraboo, WI:
Thomas W. ENGLISH, age 29, a Farmer, born VA, parents born VA
Izro ENGLISH, wife, age 26, Keeping House, born WI, parents born PA
Ellen ENGLISH, dau, age 2, born WI
Henry D. EVANS, father-in-law, age 61, a Farmer, born PA, parents born MA
+ 1 Servant
1900 census of Baraboo, WI:
T. W. ENGLISH, age 50, born Jun 1849, married 24 years, born VA, parents born VA, a Hardware Merchant
Irene ENGLISH, wife, age 46, born Jan 1854, married 24 years, 3 children/3 living, born WI, parents born PA
Tillie ENGLISH, dau, age 22, born Dec 1877, born WI
Harry E. ENGLISH, son, age 19, born Oct 1880, born WI
Irene V. ENGLISH, dau, age 5, born Apr 1895, born WI
1920 census of Baraboo, WI:
Thomas W. ENGLISH, age 70, a widower, born VA, parents born VA
Tillie ENGLISH, dau, age 42, born WI, parents born VA/WI, a Nurse
Irene V. ENGLISH, dau, age 24, born WI, parents born VA/WI, a Weaver
I’m hoping to locate someone from Tillie’s family so that this wonderful old photograph 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.
