I've "rescued" a group of three family photographs all belonging to the
STREET Family of California. The first is one of Kate STREET who is noted as
the Aunt of Verna CARTER. The photograph appears to have been taken in the
early 1900's with Kate likely in her 50's at the time. The second photograph
is identified as Lorton J. STREET and was taken at the A. P. Hill Studio in
San Jose, CA in 1901 when Lorton was 6 years and 6 months old. The third
photograph is not specifically identified other than "STREET Family" and is
of a young man in uniform who is likely in his teens or 20's at the time.
There is no studio or location identified and it appears to have been taken
in the early 1900's as well.
Based on limited research I was able to locate the following details
regarding this family:
Kate F. DELANO was b. 3 Mar 1855 in Ohio to parents Christopher DELANO and
Miss FINLEY. Kate died 11 Nov 1945 in Santa Clara, CA and is buried in the
Oak Hill Memorial Park Cemetery in San Jose, CA.
Lorton Joseph or Joseph Lorton STREET was b. June 1895 in California to
parents Joseph Tout STREET (1853-1929) and Katherine F. "Kate" DELANO
(1855-1945). Lorton was one of four children born to this couple including,
Ralph, Minnie, Edith N., and Lorton STREET. Lorton died 12 Jan 1912 in San
Jose, CA and is buried in the Oak Hill Memorial Park Cemetery in San Jose,
CA.
