I've "rescued" an old photograph of Will and Emma CUPPLES which was taken
at
their home in Butte, MT in 1904. Notes indicate that they are "Uncle and
Aunt" and that Will is "My Mother's Brother". In addition, someone has
indicated that "Will died of Miners TB" and "Aunt Emma died in a
Sanatorium". The photograph includes their two dogs as well. Based on
limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding
this couple:
William Pearce CUPPLES was b. 27 Feb 1872 in Pike or Curwensville, PA to
parents Clara Jane CALDWELL (1844-1929) and Andrew Jackson or James CUPPLES
(1842-1917). William was one of 8 children born to this couple including,
Elsie or Elcy Ann; Hannah Mary; Dora Catherine; William P.; Emery or Emory
Isaac; Olive "Ollie" Jane; Susan Belle; and Fred Keough or Keogh CUPPLES,
all born between 1867 and 1883. William married Emma MCVEY or MCVAY (b.
1869 in Lexington, KY - dau of Owen MCVAY) on 1 Sept 1900 in Elkhorn, MT and
they had two children including Melville CUPPLES (1914-1963). William died
29 Oct 1930 in Gallatin, MT and is buried in the Sunset Hills Cemetery in
Bozeman, MT.
Emma died 13 Jan 1923 in Deer Lodge, MT and William remarried 5 Jan 1924 to
Annie CUPPLES b. Kansas City, MO the daughter of Sam JOHNSON and Annie
MATTISON. Annie was 42 years old at the time of her marriage to William.

I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old
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.
