I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Alonzo CARPENTER which was
taken at the Crowell Studio in Byersville, New York. The photograph appears
to have been taken in the 1890's with Alonzo appearing to be in his 30's at
the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the
following in census records:
1880 census of Nunda, NY:
George CARPENTER, age 51, a Day Laborer, born CT, parents born CT
Louisa CARPENTER, wife, age 44, Keeping House, born CT, parents born CT
William CARPENTER, son, age 14, at School, born NY
George CARPENTER, son, age 13, at School, born NY
Alonzo CARPENTER, son, age 5, born NY
1900 census of Nunda Township, NY: (living as a servant in the home of
Augustus & Mary MOORE)
Alonzo CARPENTER, age 25, born May 1875, born NY, parents born MA/CT, a Farm
Laborer
I am hoping to locate someone from this CARPENTER Family so that the
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.
Thanks,
Shelley
