I have a baby photo of this person. I found it at an old antique shop in Illinois. They
said that when photos don't sell that they throw them away. They were getting ready
to do just that. This Gladys I researched and is named Gladys Elizabeth Chambliss of
Davenport Iowa born 1909 to father Elwood born 1874 in Virginia and mother Elizabeth
Cordelia Johnson born Sep 24, 1987 in Wales. They were married Dec 29, 1897. This is a
true infant photo in what looks to be a christening dress possibly. This photo is very old
but in great condition. This baby was so cute I couldn't see her thrown away. I
bought it with a mission to find its' rightful owners. I am searching for the family
in Iowa and Illinois with this last name who may be the rightful owners. My only intention
is to re-coup what I paid for them so they can return home where they belong. I did not
want them to go into the trash, and I know what it means from my own searching what
finding lost family photos means. S!
ome appear to be wedding or anniversary photos. Starting my own search really has made me
addicted and anytime I come across labeled photos from now on, I am grabbing them to find
their true owners. Family photos alone are treasures, but this is not my family treasure
and may be yours. Anyone has any info, please contact me at calmquills(a)gmail.com. Thank
you
