I've "rescued" an old photograph of Loring CARPENTER which was taken at the
Chandler's Studio in McConnelsville, Ohio. The photograph appears to have
been taken in the 1890's with Loring noted as 6 years old at the time.
Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information
regarding Loring and his family in census records:
1900 census of Olmsted Township/Olmsted Falls Village, OH:
John STETSON, age 56, born Jan 1844, married 27 years, born OH, parents born
MA, a Farmer
Lydia STETSON, wife, age 47, born Feb 1853, married 27 years, 3 children/2
living, born OH, parents born VT/Canada
Orson STETSON, son, age 19, born Mar 1881, born OH, a Farm Laborer
Harriett CARPENTER, mother-in-law, age 71, born Jan 1829, widow, 9

I am hoping to locate someone from this CARPENTER Family so that the
photograph can be returned to its rightful place, with family. If you are a
member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
