Hello,
I was at a specialty store recently that's getting ready for halloween, and I found a
basket of "instant relatives" old photos, as well as an entire family's
photo album.
The photos look to be late 1800's through early 1900's in the photo album, which
is red velvet with a clasp and dated "1880 California" on a price tag set by the
store at a crazy $195.00.
Some of the pictures were taken at studios on Market Street in San Francisco. Some of the
family names on the back of the pictures in the album are:
Alla Calhoun
Alla and Cera Calhoun
Jas. E. Keller
Emma Witherby
George Colmaa, Oct. 1882
Tillie? White
May Creighton (photo of a dead child, ever see the movie The Others? creeepy looking!)
Clara Walton
Jim Tennie
Maggie McGuire
Kathleen Anne Butler
Mary Harvey
Jane Patricia Butler
Minnie Lutchild (cousin of J.E. Keller)
Alfred Solano
Clara Walton
F.H. Walton? (Frank died Feb 5, 1896)
Ralph Briggs
Grace Pendergast
Gene Brown
..and many others I didn't have time to write down.
If these are your relatives, I can rescue the album and send it to you. All I ask for is
the reimbursement of the $195.00 plus shipping to buy the album from the shop and send it
to you.
