These children could be Eikenberry's or Sturtz.

Kirksville, MO Children: Cabinet Card Four girls and one boy. Youngest girl is holding a doll. and sitting on a round table in the center of the photo. Another girl is holding a toy dog. Photo taken by H. G. Parnell Photo Studio, Kirksville Missouri

What are the names of these children?

A snapshot of a farm. Hand written on the back is "This is the log house Mae and I were born in at Marietta 5 miles out of Bellingham Wm., The old Dealy place It had a big fireplace."

Is this the farm that belonged to David Dealy?

Worthington, Minnesota funeral: A procession of horses and buggies with horse drawn hearse leaving a farm house.

When was this taken and whose funeral was it?

A bicycle outing for two - when one of the two is a skeleton! An obvious studio Halloween photo from the turn of the century. Funny and a bit macabre - it probably reflects the humor of the time. Or it could be a message against dangerous bicycle riding!

Cabinet card Young girl and boy. Handwritten on the bottom is "Grandpa Krause's sister's children." Nothing more is known about this photo.

What are the names of these children?

This looks like a group of neighborhood children celebrating Halloween in the 1930's - the names are unknown and the actual date of the photo is unknown, but the costumes look homemade like they were in the 1930's (and even in the 1950's!). I see a skeleton, and an "Uncle Sam" and a "newsboy" and maybe a pioneer woman . . . but what is the boy on the left???

Around the turn of the century, there was a French actor who dressed as a rooster. I don't know if this is a photo of him or if he inspired this Halloween costume. But a giant rooster is truly a Jurassic Park moment!

Two men dressed as "giant eyes" on Halloween. Actually, they are dressed as giant eyes but they are in suits with gloves - giant formal eyes? It's difficult to tell when this photo was taken, as the suits and gloves don't seem to be time-specific. Do you see any clues as to the time period?

A photo of a Halloween egg, perhaps from the 1920's. The name of the woman in the costume is unknown but the photo is classic - not like Halloween today, which may be full of spooky costumes, this looks to be "Humpty Dumpty", the female version. before she/he fell.

Woman sitting on a child's tricycle. No identifying marks on photo.

What is the name of this woman?

There's no name or any other identifying information on this photo. I found him in central Texas, so I think it's likely the photo was taken somewhere in that area. He looks like he's enjoying that rare snowfall.

Internet searches revealed that the winter of 1894-1895 was unusually cold in much of the northern hemisphere. The coast of the Gulf of Mexico got unusually heavy snowfalls in February 1895. Much of Texas got hit around the middle of February, especially along the coast.

The National Weather Service website says this: "February 12-15, 1895 - Widespread snow over the state, even as far south as the lower Valley. North Texas received between 3-5 inches, but a band of 10-20 inches blanketed the upper Texas coast, including Houston and Beaumont/Port Arthur."

Written on the back: Heads up or there is going to be a fearful crash

A photo of a wedding, September 1913. Inscription on back of photo: Bertha Kuehns (possible misspelling) wedding to Al Hoeffler

Photographer's name in lower right hand corner: Galbraill or Galbraith

Can anyone tell me about the people in the photo?

I will upload photo of inscription.

A postcard from around 1900 featuring a costume from the Folies Bergere in Paris. I can't figure out what the box sticking out from her bust is? Part of her act? I'm sure that this was a scandalous costume at the time!

My great-great grandmother, Leah Alice Cloud Clark: I'm looking for any information anyone may have. Leah Alice may have gone by Alice and was, according to family lore, Cherokee. She died very young, like in her early 30's in the Nevada, Missouri area.

Does anyone have any other photos of her, or does anyone recognize this photo as their relative?

This photo of a woman dressed as a carousel may have been a costume for Halloween - or it may have been just a fanciful costume for a photo shoot. The name of the woman is unknown, as is the date and place of the photo, but it's looks to be from the 1910's - and she looks like she has a lampshade on her head!

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Marguerite ROSENOW MITLER which was taken at the Ed Schultze Studio in Heidelberg, Germany. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Marguerite likely in her teens or 20's at the time it was taken. In addition to her name, she has written "To Florence with Marguerite's Love" and "Now Mrs. Earnest MITLER of NY" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Marguerite and her family:

Marguerite ROSENOW was b. 5 Feb 1886 in Walla Walla, WA to parents Albert ROSENOW and Celia DUSENBERY. Marguerite married Herbert Ernest MITLER (b. 1885 in Peoria, IL to parents Sigmund O. MITLER and Ernestine STERNBERG) on 14 Oct 1911 in Manhattan, NY. and had a son, Ernest Albert MITLER (1916-2002).

Thanks,
