While walking along highway 39 near Asher, Pottawatomie Co., Oklahoma, my mother, found an envelope full of very old photographs. They obviously had not been there long, she thought perhaps someone put them on top of their car and had forgotten about them before driving off.

Our hopes were to locate descendants of these persons photographed and return them to their family members. Someone lost these photos and we wanted to return them.

The photo is of Arthur Mitchell perhaps before he was married.

My mother found these Mitchell photographs on the side of the road near Asher, Pottawatomie Co., OK. Back of photo: Granddad Mitchell (Wm Stokes or Stokes Wm), Grandmother Sarah Elizabeth (Jones), Aunt Martha, Aunt Vira, Arthur (dad) and Pearl Mitchell. We'd like to return this photo to a descendant of Wm Mitchell.

This is a tin type photo with no identification. Could be the parents of William Stokes Mitchell or the parents of Sarah Elizabeth Jones. It was with some Mitchell photographs found on the side of the road near Asher, Pottawatomie Co., OK. We'd like to return to this family. No identification is given on the back side of tin type. The photo has also been professionally painted over the tin type. It may have some Georgia (GA) ties.
