I've "rescued" an old photograph of Ulta & Ora CASS which was taken at
the
Hutchings Studio in Ottumwa, Iowa. The photograph appears to have been
taken in the early 1900's with the two girls likely about 12-16 years old at
the time it was taken. Based on limited research I believe that these girls
are the children of C. & Jane N. CASS who were recorded in both the 1900 and
1920 census records as follows:
1900 census in Center, IA:
C. CASS, age 66, born Oct 1833, married 22 years, born in MO, parents born
MA/KY
Jane N. CASS, wife, age 46, born July 1853, married 22 years, 2 children/2
living, born in KY, parents born in Scotland
Ulta CASS, dau, age 20, born Aug 1879, born in IA, a Cigar Maker
Ora CASS, dau, age 15, born Jan 1885, born in IA
1920 census in Ottumwa Center, IA:
Jane N. CASS, age 66, a widow, born in KY, parent born Scotland
Uita CASS, dau, age 40, born in IA, parents born MO/KY, a Bookkeeper
I'm hoping to locate someone from this CASS Family so that this wonderful
old photograph can be returned to their care.
If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please
contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
