I love family history and old photos. I don't have much of anything. I
think I am to far down the food chain to get much. That is inherit much. And, I
've lived in Fl. for so long most everyone has forgotten me.

I keep going through stuff and find I have a picture of Mary Harriet Cornelia Johnson Chisham. It's a later print apparently of a tintype or some such process and the quality isn't very good. But again, I'll share.
I mentioned earlier I have a picture of Kansas Chisham. I have another -- apparently a girlhood picture- - that's quite delightful. She has quite a wide pale collar, almost like a shawl, and a big bow perched on her high-piled hair.
Again -- anyone want an electronic copy, let me know. It may take me a while -- I'm amassing a huge pile of things to scan. (What fun!! oh, the goodies!)

I'm in the throes of going through and sorting the contents of a slew of boxes in my office closet, and a bunch of them are family history stuff.
My latest prizes (some of which I will scan when I get the path cleared through my office) include a picture of the "old Chisham Home" near New Albany. It's one of a batch that Mom (Lois Crum Bell--daughter of Kansas Chisham) took on a trip touring family graves in 1974. In the lot are handwritten notes on the info from tombstones.
I also find I have a photo -- nice full face shot-- of Kansas, which of course will also go in the earliest scanning session.
Feel free to drop me a note at either PatJBell(a)aol.com or felinefoot(a)earthlink.net if you'd like me to send you a (scanned) copy.
Daddy (Paul Houchin Chisham) used to tell us about the time his Aunt Maggie
came to visit from Brownsville,, Tx and how she was cold all the time.
However, in going over the records there is no mention of her ever living in Tx.

Malcolm was the older brother to Lois Olive Crum (she HATED that mddle name, but her father picked it), who was born March 4, 1909. Her aunt Carrie (Carolyn Chisham Hancock) took her in for a couple of years -- she spoke often and very fondly of Aunt Carrie.
Lois was my mother-in-law and she left us Feb. 2, 2000, in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Some time after Kansas's death, her husband Frank Crum married Alma Johnston; I've not been successful in tracking down the date. Frank and Alma had a daughter and a son.
Lois married William Ryan (Ryan) Bell on June 17, 1928, in Claremore, Oklahoma. They had two children: my husband Don and his brother Robert. Don's been retired for some years now; Robert is retiring in September.

She will be able to help you some. A few years ago we met on line. When I
was a small child we used to go to her grandfathers farm which was next door
to Grandpa Harry's farm outside of Fredonia, Ks. Her father was a little boy
at the time his name was Dale. My Great Uncle Milton was her gandfather, or
maybe her great grandfather. She can tell you. Where do you live? I'm in
Sebastian, Fl.

Okay, thanks to all the help here, but I've still got a couple of gaps on the children of N B Chisham and Mary Johnson. I've got dates on Carrie, James, Della, Kansas (my husband's grandmother), John Milton, Harry Daniel, and Joseph Powell. Does anybody know anything about Julia Etta and Margaret? I have info that Margaret married a Wolf (she's mentioned in N.B.'s will); I have nothing else on Julia.
P.S. I have a photo of Julia Stribbling Chisham; it's quite a large file -- 3.8 MB, but I also have a .jpeg that's much much smaller. Anyone interested drop me a note and I'll pass it along. She's quite the little lady in it.

In the FWIW department, I have a photo of N. B. Chisham with my husband, who was a very small boy at the time of the photo. I'll send copy if interested.
