I've "rescued" an old photograph of Mrs. Margaret BRENNAN (could be BRUMAN) OATHOUT which was taken at the Fredrick's Knickerbocker Gallery in New York City, NY in 1887. Margaret appears to be in her 20's or 30's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I gathered the following information regarding Margaret and her family:

Margaret (b.1858) was the wife of Louis M. OATHOUT (b. 1858 in New York) the son of Elizabeth OATHOUT. Louis and Margaret had 5 children including, Margaret B.; Margaret N.; Rebecca; Amy T.; and Hellen H. OATHOUT, all born between 1880 and 1891. Louis had a brother William James OATHOUT (1858-1929) so he may have been a twin.

I’m hoping to locate someone from this OATHOUT 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.

Thanks,

I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Mira NORTHRUP which was taken at the Hitchcox Studio in Willink, NY. Mira is identified as 58 years old and 5 months when the photograph was taken in 1894. Someone has also written “Chicago” after her name so I don’t know if she was from Chicago, or if that should be a surname? I’m guessing that it references the city of Chicago but I’m not certain. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,

KENNEDY) on 19 Aug 1908 in Andover, MA and together they had a daughter, Mary C. MCFAYDEN b. 1915 in Colorado who married Mr. BISHOP.

This is probably one of the first photographs taken in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio. This photo was taken in 1853 at the corner of High St and 2nd St (the southeast corner).

I purchased this photo off eBay. Checking the names on FamilySearch.org, I believe they were born 1/27/1901 in Sandusky, Ohio. Their parents were William and Alice (Pearson) WAGSTAFF.

I've "rescued" three old photographs belonging to the TIPPIT or TIPPET Family of Michigan. The first is one of Gladys TIPPIT which was taken at the Eskil Studio in Iron Mountain, MI. The photograph appears to have been taken in the later 1890's or early 1900's with Gladys just an infant at the time. The second photograph is one of Sarah CUNDY TIPPET and was also taken at the Eskil Studio in Iron Mountain, MI, most likely in the 1890's. Sarah appears to be in her teens or 20's at the time. The third photograph is also one of Sarah CUNDY TIPPET, this one taken at the L. Winsor Studio in Champion, MI in the 1880's or 1890's with Sarah appearing to be in her teens.

Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family:

Gladys C. TIPPET was b. Apr 1899 in Michigan to parents James Blight TIPPETT (1863-1906) and Sarah Jane CUNDY (b. 1876). Gladys’ parents were married in Iron Mountain, MI on 20 Apr 1898 listing their parents as Thomas TIPPETT and Mathilda BLIGHT and Thomas CUNDY and Emma HILL. Gladys had one sibling, a sister Iva Mathilda TIPPETT (1900-1901). Gladys married John F. JOHNS (b. 1899) and together they had one child. In 1930 Gladys was living in Detroit, MI.
