I've "rescued" an old photograph of Marion Lucy COLE which was taken at the
Fitton Studio in Worcester, Massachusetts. The photograph is dated June
1902 with Marion likely in her 20's or 30's at the time it was taken. Based
on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding
Marion and her family:
Marion Lucy COLE was b. 4 Feb or Jul 1872 in Keene, NH to parents Dr.
William Ezra COLE (b. 27 Jul 1842 in Spencer, MA - d.1929) and Abigail
"Abbie" Sarah BALL (b. 4 Aug 1845 in Leicester, MA - d. 1906). Marion was
one of 4 children born to this couple including, Marion Lucy; Vivian M.;
Forrest William; and Ernest Joshua COLE, all born in Keene, NH or Worcester
City, MA.
Census records provide the following information:

I am hoping to locate someone from Marion's family so that this wonderful
old photograph can be returned to the care of family. Please contact me at
your earliest convenience regarding the photograph and this family.
