I've "rescued" an old photograph of Mrs. Edna BISHOP which was taken at the
Harrington Studio in Logansport, Indiana. The photograph appears to have
been taken in the 1890's with Edna likely in her teens or 20's at that time.
In addition to her name, someone appears to have written order information
on the back of the photograph suggesting that another copy of the photograph
was probably produced.
Based on limited research I was able to find Edna BISHOP wife of Walter
BISHOP in the various census records of Tipton, IN. Those records provide
the following information:

photographs can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this
family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.
