I've "rescued" a group of photographs belonging to the CARUTHERS Family of
Pennsylvania. Based on limited research I was able to gather some
information regarding the family and have included it along with the details
of the photographs below:
1 - Eugene CARUTHERS, taken at the Chandler & Scheetz Studio in
Philadelphia, PA, 1880's, boy 2-3 years old
2 - Eugene W. CARUTHERS, taken at the John W. Hubbey Studio in Lancaster,
PA, 1880's, boy about 1 year old
Eugene Witmer Caruthers was b. 8 Dec 1880 in Paradise Township, PA to
parents Thomas Fillmore CARUTHERS (b. 29 Jul 1848 in Penningtonville, PA)
and Leah Dale WITMER (b. 1850 in Paradise Township, PA). In addition to
Eugene the couple had another son, Frank D. CARUTHERS b . Jan 1892 in PA.
Eugene married Mary T. BUCHER and together they had three children
including, Herbert F.; Edward G.; and Mary G. CARUTHERS. Eugene Caruthers
died in Jan 1972 in Delaware Co. PA.

who might be, please contact me.
