I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Roy GREEN which was taken at the Kerr Studio in Urbana, OH. The photograph was taken sometime in the 1880’s with Roy appearing to be about 4 years old at the time it was taken. I’m hoping to locate someone from this GREEN 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,
Shelley

A photo of Wesley & Myrtle Hamilton, my great grandparents. I met Myrtle when I was a child, she passed away in the mid-1980s.

Oliver Weston "Wesley" Hamilton -- 1882-1945
Myrtle Ruth Kearns Hamilton -- 1895-1984

My father and brother and nephew all carry the middle name of "Wesley" in honor of this man. Zooming in on Oliver's face, my daddy has his eyes. The couple married in 1910 in South Dakota (pap was a railroad man). They divorced in the 1930s.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of John and Will LUNSMAN which was taken at the Remillard Studio in Newburgh, NY. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with the two young boys likely about 6-8 years old at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research and thanks to a SMITH Family Researcher I was able to gather the following information regarding this family:

William Henry LUNSMAN was b. 18 Sept 1874 and his brother John B. LUNSMAN was b. 22 Nov 1876, both were born in Cornwall, NY to parents John Daniel or Daniel John “Dan” LUNSMAN (b. Jan 1845 in New York) and Mary “May” A. EMSLIE (b. Jun 1846 in New York, NY to parents James EMSLIE Sr. and Jane WESTON-d. 1911). The couple had a third child, Janie LUNSMAN. John married Nellie May SMITH (b. 1876 in Long Island, NY to parents Orlando Gardiner SMITH and Mary Rebecca BLYDENBURGH) in 1900 and they had a daughter, Gladys M. LUNSMAN (b. 1903 in Cornwall, NY-d. 18 Sept 2003 in Pompano Beach, FL) who later married Thomas Graham TAYLOR in 1949, though it appears that they did not have any children.

William married Caroline LUNSMAN (b. 1877) and they had two children, Daniel J. (b. 28 Jul 1911-d. 27 Aug 1987 in Volusia Co. FL) and Willis Lent (b. 15 Jun 1913-d. 11 May 1979 in Fort Pierce, FL) LUNSMAN. William’s son Daniel married Florence V. REARDON (b. 18 Oct 1909 – d. 15 Jul 2001) in 1936 and it appears the couple may not have had any children. William’s son Willis is indicated as married after 1940 but there is no information on children in family records.

Census records provide the following details:

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:

I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Lawrence and Viola PRIMEAU which was taken at the Smith Studio in Escanaba, MI sometime in the 1890’s. Viola appears to be about 5 years old at the time and Lawrence just a baby. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family:

Viola PRIMEAU was b. October 1891 in Escanaba, MI to parents Pierre Napoleon PRIMEAU (1864-1925)and Laura SALVA (1872-1943). Viola was one of 5 children born to this couple including Viola; Lawrence N.; Hercules Homer; Charles Anthony; and Vilna Marie PRIMEAU, all born between 1895 and 1903. She married Cornelius Erastus BARTLEY (son of Casper BARTLEY and Nellie BURKE) on 25 Apr 1911 In Escanaba, MI. Her brother Lawrence N.
