Noel Loucks – Orphaned Photo

Standard

This is a tiny photograph. The whole card is probably 2″ x 2″. I believe the name is Noel Loucks or possibly Noel Leoucks. What do you think? Feel free to give your opinion. This orphaned photo was found in Melbourne, Florida on one of my orphaned item rescue missions. Is Noel on your family tree?

Huwer and Saul Engagement – Orphaned Ephemera

Standard

This is a sweet little invitation for an engagement for Elizabeth Huwer and Eugene Saul from Ozone Park, New York, in 1948. I actually found two of these and are keeping them safe until a family member is found. Are either of these families on your family tree? Comment or e-mail me at: kmf8181@aol.com

Unknown Man from KS – Orphaned Photo

Standard

I have nothing to go on with this picture. It was taken by Masten (Stephen L) in Weir City, Kansas. Masten was In business in Weir City from approximately 1896 to 1907 when he moved his home and business five miles away to Cherokee, Kansas where he continued his photography studio until about two years prior to his death in 1922 at the age of 83.

Does anyone recognize this fellow?

Walters – Orphaned Photo

Standard

I have digitally colorized this photo. The original black and white is also shown. This picture is a bit of a stumper for me. The inscription on the outer folder reads, “Dot. Irene Walters”. Is this Dorothy Irene Walters and a friend or is this Dorothy AND Irene Walters.

In my research on genealogy websites I have been able to find a fit for both scenarios. Does anyone recognize these lovely ladies? Are they part of your family tree? Please comment or feel free to e-mail me at : kmf8181@aol.com

Arthur Jordon – Orphaned Ephemera

Standard

This is an orphaned Religious Education Ceritificate that I found in my rescue adventures at antique malls in Melbourne, Florida.

The name on this is Arthur Jordon and is dated May 10, 1939 from Huntington, West Virginia. Is Arthur on your family tree? Comment or e-mail me at kmf8181@aol.com

Lydia Wilson Beechum – Orphaned Photo

Standard

I took the liberty of digitally colorizing this photo. The original black and white cabinet card is shown below.

This cabinet card shows the photographer as Fulkerson, in Somerset Ohio. I’ve not had luck in finding when this photography studio was operating. If you have any links for me to explore, please share.

As you can see the backside of this photo is inscribed “Lydia Wilson Beechum, school teacher”. My guess is it was taken in the 1870’s or 1880’s. Any thoughts? Is Lydia on your family tree?

DiBrine – Orphaned Ephemera

Standard

This orphaned piece of ephemera appears to be a tag from a hospital crib maternity ward?! It is from the Genesee Hospital which was located in Rochester, New York from 1889 to 2001.

Baby: Boy DiBrine

Doctor: Ford

Born: 1:48pm

Weight: 8 pounds, 8 ounces

There are no other identifying marks on this little tag, but it is a cool thing to have if this is one of your DiBrine relatives. I see a couple potential leads on Ancestry that I will follow up on. I found this in a vintage bag of ephemera that I purchased at an antique mall in Melbourne, Florida. Is Baby Boy DiBrine part of your family tree?

Charlie Keckler – Orphaned Photo

Standard

How cute is Charlie Keckler? Sadly this picture is starting to fade badly. It’s very hard to read the markings on the back of this card but under the light it clearly reads, “Charlie Keckler”. I see a couple leads on Ancestry that I will follow up on, but I’m hoping someone finds Charlie before this picture fades away.
