I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Lorine CAHOON which was
taken
at the F. Hummler Studio in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The photograph appears
to have been taken in the early 1900's with Lorine likely about 4-5 years
old at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to
gather the following information regarding this little girl and her family:
Loraine CAHOON b. 21 May 1898 to parents Stephen Asa CAHOON (b. 22 Oct 1872
in Justus, PA) and Millie A. BRUNER (b. 1875 in PA). Loraine had one
sibling, Leslie N. CAHOON b. 8 Apr 1897. Census records for the family are
as follows:

photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of the
family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.
