I've "rescued" a group of photographs belonging to the CHENEY Family of
South Dakota and Wisconsin. The first photograph is one of a little girl,
Lou CHENEY which was taken at the L. Janousek Studio in Yankton, SD. The
photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with Lou noted
as age 9 years old at the time it was taken. The second photograph is of
three little girls, Lou, Vera, and Fay CHENEY. This photograph was taken at
the Foster & Shidell Studio in Sparta, WI, probably sometime in the 1890's
with Lou noted as 12 years old, Vera 9 years old, and Fay just 5 years old.
The third photograph is one of D. W. CHENEY, also taken at the Foster &
Shidell Studio in Sparta sometime in the 1890's. Mr. CHENEY would appear to
be in his 30's or 40's at the time this photograph was taken. The fourth
photograph is one of Lou CHENEY of Sparta, WI and was probably taken in the
early 1900's when she was in her late teens or early 20's. Based on limited
research I was able to find David W. CHENEY and his family living in Sparta
City, WI during the 1900 and 1910 census reports.

I'm hoping to locate someone from this family, so that these wonderful old
photographs can be returned to their rightful place with family. If you are
a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
