Subject: [CHANDLER] KINNEAR - BABCOCK - CHANDLER Family Photograph
I've "rescued" an old photograph of Fern KINNEAR VALENTINE which was taken
at the W. A. Bairstow Studio in Warren, Pennsylvania. The photograph
appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Fern looking to be about 8
years old at the time. Based on limited research I was able to locate the
following information regarding Fern and her family as follows:
Fern was the daughter of Robert A. KINEAR and Ida Ruphina BABCOCK (b. 30 Aug
1855). Fern's Mother was the daughter of Henry BABCOCK (b. 1814) and
Selinda CHANDLER (b. 1824). Ida had two sisters, Ella Lovina; and Ada
Marion BABCOCK born after her in 1859 and 1863.
Fern married Louis Foote VALENTINE b. 1873 and both Fernie and husband Louis
d. 28 Jan 1922 in Washington DC in the collapse of the Knickerbocker
Theatre. Both are buried in the Oakland Cemetery in Warren, PA.
Census records provide the following information regarding the families:

1920 census of Washington, DC:

I'm hoping to locate someone from Fern's family so that this wonderful old
treasure can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this
family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
