I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the NEWCOMB Family of New
York. The first is a photograph of Herman NEWCOMB which was taken at the
Marc & Schlum Studio in either New York City, NY or Saratoga Springs, NY.
The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Herman likely
about 9 years old at the time.
The second photograph is of Edith NEWCOMB which was also taken at the same
studio at about the same time with Edith appearing to be about 8-12 years
old at the time. Based on limited research I was able to gather the
following information regarding this family:
Edyth Ward NEWCOMB was b. 10 Dec 1867 in Louisville, KY to parents Horatio
Victor NEWCOMB (b. 26 Jul 1844 in Louisville, KY) and Florence Ward DANFORTH
(b. 27 Apr 1846 in Louisville, KY). Edyth's brother Herman Danforth NEWCOMB
was born 1 Jan 1872 in Louisville, KY to the same couple along with another
sibling, Florence Danforth NEWCOMB.
Herman Danforth NEWCOMB married Matilda Florence CHURCHILL (b. 15 Oct 1876
in Louisville, KY)
On 9 Nov 1898 and together they had two children, a son, John Churchill
NEWCOMB b. 3 Dec 1899 in Jefferson Co. KY and a daughter Florence Danforth
NEWCOMB (b. 20 May 1916 in Morris NJ).
I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photographs can
be returned to your care. If you are a member of this family, or you know
someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
