I've "rescued" an old photograph of Ellen Brainard CANFIELD which was taken
at the C. H. Howes Studio in Ithaca, New York. The photograph is dated Dec
17th 1894 with Ellen appearing to be in her teens or 20's at the time it was
taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following
information regarding Ellen and her family:
Ellen Brainard CANFIELD was b. 31 Jul 1872 in Arlington, VT to parents Frank
Neally CANFIELD (b. 31 Aug 1851 in Arlington, VT) and Clara Collins ROGERS
(b. 22 Dec 1853 in NY). Ellen died 11 Jul 1939 and is buried in the
Evergreen Cemetery in Arlington, VT.
Census records provide the following information:
1900 census of Ithaca, NY:
Ellen B. CANFIELD, age 27, born Jul 1872, born VT, parents born VT/NY, a
Physical Training Instructor
1910 census of Ithaca, NY:
Ellen B. CANFIELD, age 37, born VT, parents born VT/NY, a College Instructor
1920 census of Ithaca, NY:
Ellen B. CANFIELD, age 47, born VT, parents born VT/NY, a Cornell University
Teacher
I am hoping to locate someone from this CANFIELD Family so that this
wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you
are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please
contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
