I've "rescued" a group of family photographs belonging to the CHURCHILL and
LEADLEY Family of New York and Ohio. The first three photograph are all of
Georgiana or Georgietta CHURCHILL LEADLEY, taken at studio in Troy, New York
during the 1880's when she appears to have been in her teens. The fourth
photograph is identified as Marie Etta LEADLEY and was taken at the W. A.
Hall Studio in Sidney, Ohio. Marie Etta was less than 1 year old at the
time that photograph was taken.
In addition to Marie Etta's name, someone has written a note saying "adopted
by grandparents Geo. And Anna S. CHURCHILL as Mother of M. E. died in
childbirth in 1892" and attached it to the back of this photograph. Based
on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding
this family:
Marie LEADLEY was b. 20 Nov 1892 and died in June 1979 in Cleveland, OH.
Census records provide the following information regarding this family:
