I've "rescued" an old photograph of Mr. & Mrs. WALTON also identified
as
"Fanny and her husband" which was taken at the O. McIntire Studio in Canton,
OH. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1870's with the couple
appearing to be in their teens or 20's at the time it was taken. Based on
limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding
this family:
Robert Owen WALTON was b. 9 Sept 1845 in Loghouse, OH to parents Moses P.
WALTON (1818-1888) and Eliza CHANDLER (1806-1848). Robert was one of 5
children born to this couple including, Mary; Jane Ann; Mary Esther; Howard;
and Robert Owen WALTON, all born between 1840 and 1846. Robert married
Helen Frances "Fanny" HARRISON (b. 9 Jul 1850 in Pennsylvania-d. 7 Feb 1926
in Lakewood, OH) and together they had two children including, Allen or
Allyn Ballard WALTON (1873-1945) and Mina "Minnie" Helen WALTON (1877-1964).
Robert died in July 1889 in Cleveland, OH. Fanny was the daughter of
Charles T. HARRISON (1845-1861) and Frances Maria BALLARD (1832-1881).
Fanny was one of 6 children born to this couple including, Fanny; Charles
Martin; Edward Jewett; Lillian Rebecca; Edgar J.; and Veva HARRISON all born
between 1850 and 1861.
After Charles HARRISON died Frances remarried and had one more child, a son
Harry SMITH b. 1879.
I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be
returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know
someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
