I've "rescued" an old photograph of Rebecca and Sue CADWALLADER which was
taken at the L. Rue Lemer Studio in Harrisburg, PA about 1882. The girls
appear to be about 10-13 years old at the time. Based on limited research I
was able to locate the following information regarding this family:
Rebecca McCarrell CADWALLADER was b. 21 Dec 1873 in Philadelphia, PA to
parents Charles Gerton or Giston CADWALLADER (1840-1909) and Jennie Styles
WALLACE (1846 or 1848-1916) who were married 9 Nov 1870 in Philadelphia, PA.
Rebecca was one of 8 children born to this couple including, Rebecca; Susan
Hemphill; Rebecca McCarrell; Alice Whittaker; Mary Elizabeth; Helen Wallace;
Wallace Laird; and Charles Girton or Giston CADWALLADER all born between
1870 and 1887. Rebecca married John Wilson GRAY (1867 or 1868-1950) and
they had a daughter, Jane Eliza GRAY KELLOGG (1909-2004 or 2007) and a son
Charles GRAY (1911-1990).
Rebecca died 3 Sept 1947 in Ardmore, PA and she was buried in West Laurel
Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, PA. Susan Hemphill CADWALLADER was b. abt
1872 in Pennsylvania to the same parents. It doesn't appear that Susan
married or had any children during her lifetime.
I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be
returned to the care of their family. If you are a member of this family,
or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
