I've "rescued" an old photograph of Cora SAVAGE CLARKSON which was taken at
the Miller & Williams Studio in Jackson, OH sometime in the 1880's. Cora
appears to be in her 20's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on
limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding
Cora and her family:
Cora SAVAGE was b. 13 or 15 Jan 1867 in Jackson, OH to parents Jesse Stilman
SAVAGE (1835-1917) and Louisa DETTY (1839-1921). Cora was one of six
children born to this couple including, Fidelia; Pearley Monterville; Cora;
Bertha Mary; Jesse Calvin; and Mariola SAVAGE, all born between 1860 and
1878. Cora married David Josiah Wood CLARKSON (1860-1925) in 1902 in
Kanawha, WV and they had a son, William Ohley CLARKSON (1905-1999). Cora
died 2 Oct 1949 in Charleston, WV and is buried in the Spring Hill Cemetery
in Charleston, WV.
Census records provide the following information:

And living directly next door - Allen and Frances SAVAGE and family

I am hoping to locate someone from this SAVAGE Family so that the photograph
can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you
know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
