I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the CAHOON Family of Ohio.
The first is a photograph of Fred CAHOON which was taken at the Haines
Studio in Wakeman, OH. The photograph appears to have been taken in the
1890's with Fred likely in his 30's or 40's at the time it was taken. The
second photograph is identified as Mrs. J. B. CAHOON of Elyria, OH. This
second photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Mrs. CAHOON
likely in her 50's or 60's at the time it was taken.
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information
regarding the family:
Fred CAHOON, b. Nov 1867 in Ridgeville, OH to parents James CAHOON and
Cynthia PARISH. Fred married Rose (last name unknown) in 1896 at Wakeman,
OH.

treasures 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.
