Effie Maude Finley
I’ve “rescued” two old photographs belonging to the FINLEY Family of Bradford, MA. The first is a photograph of Effie Maude FINLEY which was taken at the Willoughby Studio in Haverhill, MA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890’s with Effie likely in her 20’s at the time it was taken. The second photograph is identified as Florence Gertrude FINLY and was taken at the same studio in Haverhill, MA. This photograph also appears to have been taken at the same time in the 1890’s with Florence appearing to be about 10-12 years old at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding these two and their family:
Effie Maude or Maud FINLEY was b. 17 Sept 1872 and died 12 Dec 1968 in Haverhill, MA and is buried in the Walnut Grove Cemetery in Danvers, MA. Florence Gertrude FINLEY was b. 4 Mar 1883 and d. 4 Nov 1978 in Haverhill, MA and is buried in the Walnut Grove Cemetery in Danvers, MA. The two were sisters and are buried along with other FINLEY Family members including their parents John W. FINLEY; Marietta RADDIN (wife of John W. FINLEY); Margaret FINLEY; Margaret Anne FINLEY; and Robert FINLEY.
Census records provide the following details:

Opyl Blessing
I've "rescued" an old photograph of Opyl BLESSING which was taken at the Bryant's Studio in Indianapolis, IN in the early 1900's. Opyl appears to be less than one year old at the time. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Opyl and her family:
OPYL BLESSING was b. 24 Feb 1903 in Marion, IN to parents William A. BLESSING (1869-1927) and Mary Grace STOUT (1876-1924). Opyl had one sister, Phyllis BLESSING (1905-1974). Opyl married Walter Edgel KIMSEY (1901-1988) and together they had four children including, Edgel D.; David Leon; Mary Ellen; and Esther A. KIMSEY, all born between 1923 and 1933. Opyl died 19 Apr 1978 in Pueblo, CO and is buried in the Imperial Memorial Gardens in Pueblo, CO. Her daughter Mary Ellen KIMSEY (1928-2016) is also buried in the same cemetery. It appears that Opyl may have been married more than once.
Census records provide the following details:
1910 census of Indianapolis, IN:
William BLESSING, age 40, married 9 years, born IN, parents born VA/KY, a School Teacher
M. Grace BLESSING, wife, age 32, married 9 years, 2 children/2 living, born IN, parents born IN
Opal BLESSING, dau, age 7, born IN
Phyllis BLESSING, dau, age 5, born IN
1920 census of Wayne, IN:
William A. BLESSING, age 50, born IN, parents born VA/KY, a Grade School Teacher
Grace BLESSING, wife, age 43, born IN, parents born IN
Opyl BLESSING, dau, age 16, born IN
Phyllis BLESSING, dau, age 15, born IN
I’m hoping to locate someone from this family so that the 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.

Nigel & Jeanette Cholmeley-Jones, Walt Whitman
Children Nigel Cholmeley-Jones and Jeanette Cholmeley-Jones with poet Walt Whitman. The children were the niece and nephew of Jeannette Gilder, editor of The Critic and a friend to both Cox (the photographer) and Whitman. Gilder had delivered the frail poet to the photographer’s studio. He had just given a lecture on Abraham Lincoln.
Best known for Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman was a man of his times: complex, active, and with an interesting view of life. This photo was taken 5 years before he died.
In a newly discovered letter from Whitman to Gilder, he wrote:
328 Mickle Street
Camden New Jersey Sept. 13 Evn’g
Cox’s photos: came today & I have written my name on them & sent them back (addressing the package to William Carey, Century office)—All are good, but the one I like best is a head with hat on, the photo marked No 3—the pictures with the children come out first-rate—Give my love to the dear girl & boy & tell them I remember them well—I am here like an old hulk driven up on the sand or floating with spars & rigging all gone, & no more voyaging—Love to Watson and Joe

Johnson Family
I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Oluf JOHNSON’S children including Jessie, Ivah, and Geneva JOHNSON. The photograph was taken in the early 1900’s with the three children likely about 4-7 years old at the time the photograph was taken. The photograph is of 2 girls and a boy with the boy appearing to be the oldest. There is no studio or location identified on the photograph though it was recovered in Washington State. I’m hoping to locate someone from this JOHNSON Family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
