I've "rescued" an old photograph of Stillman B. BROKAW Which was taken at
the Hover Studio in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. The photograph appears to have been
taken in the 1880's with Stillman noted as 15 months and 2 weeks old at the
time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the
following information regarding Stillman and his family:
Stillman Brenton BROKAW b. 15 Oct 1886 in Fort Wayne, IN to parents Samuel
Lafferty BROKAW and Elolevra S. SINEX
Census records provide the following information:
1900 census of Fort Wayne, IN:
Samuel BROKAW, age 60, born Apr 1840, married 20 years, born OH, parents
born OH/PA
Elolevora BROKAW, wife, age 39, born Sept 1860, married 20 years, 9
children/3 living, born IN, parents born DE/Canada
Stelmon B. BROKAW, son, age 14, born Oct 1885, born IN, a Grocery Delivery
boy
Estella O. BROKAW, dau, age 7, born Dec 1892, born IN, at School
Irene S. BROKAW, dau, age 1 month, born May 1900, born IN
1920 census of Fort Wayne, IN:
Stillman R. BROKAW, age 35, born IN
Mary BROKAW, wife, born IN
Norbert James BROKAW, son, age 8, born IN
I am hoping to locate someone from this BROKAW Family so that the photograph
can be returned to the care of this family.
If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please
contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
