I've "rescued" an old photograph of Iva HALCOTT of Erie, Pennsylvania which
was taken at the Walsh Studio in Trenton, New Jersey. The photograph
appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Iva noted as 5 years old at
the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the
following information regarding Iva and her family:
Iva Sarah HALCOTT b. Erie, PA to parents Orin Merrick HALCOTT (b. 22 Jul
1845 in Erie, PA) and Mabel Catherin FEIDLER. Iva 1st married John Conrad
MATHIEUS (b. 10 Jul 1876) on 28 Jun 1906 in PA with her 2nd marriage to
George Harrison CHAPIN on 28 Apr 1926 in Wesleyville, PA. Census

photograph could be returned to the family. If you are a member of this
family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.
