I've "rescued" an old photograph of Miss Emma CHAPMAN which was taken at
the
Jackson Studio in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The photograph appears to have
been taken in the 1880's with Emma likely in her 30's at the time it was
taken. In addition to her name, someone has also written "Now Mrs. Dr.
GREEN" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able
to locate the following information in census records as follows:
1870 census of Lowell, MI:
Melton CHAPMAN, age 42, a Farmer, born NY
Mary CHAPMAN, age 40, Keeping House, born MI
William CHAPMAN, age 15, born MI
Emma CHAPMAN, age 11, born MI
Marilla CHAPMAN, age 9, born MI
1880 census of Cascade, MI:
Emma CHAPMAN, age 21, a School Teacher, born MI, parents born NY
I am hoping to locate someone from Emma's family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member
of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
