I've "rescued" an old photograph of Lyra Armelle DUTCHESS and Charles
Eugene
DUTCHESS which was taken at the Donaldson Studio in Logansport, Indiana.
The photograph was taken on 27 March 1895 with Lyra noted as 38 years of age
and baby Charles birthdate listed as 18 Nov 1894. In addition to this
information someone has also written "Mother Hurda" on the back of the
photograph.
Based on limited research I was able to locate the family living in Walton,
IN during the 1900 census with records providing the following information:
Charles P. DUTCHESS, age 49, born Dec 1850, married 26 years, born NJ,
parents born NY/NJ, a Druggist
Lyra A. DUTCHESS, wife, age 43, born Mar 1857, married 26 years, 4
children/4 living, born IL, parents born NH/NY
Edith A. DUTCHESS, dau, age 23, born Sept 1877, born IN, a Pharmacist
Owen A. DUTCHESS, son, age 20, born Aug 1879, born IN, a Salesman
Eugene C. DUTCHESS, son age 5, born Nov 1894, born IN
In 1910 the family was living in Tipton, IN with census records providing
the following information:
Charles P. DUTCHESS, age 60, married 37 years, born NJ, parents born NY/NJ,
a Drugstore Proprietor
Lyra A. DUTCHESS, wife, age 52, married 37 years, 4 children/4 living, born
IL, parents born NH/NY
C. Eugene DUTCHESS, son, age 15, born IN
Then in 1920 I find Lyra living in Lafayette, IN with another daughter and
her family with records providing the following information:
George W. BISHOP, age 48, born IN, parents born OH, a Farmer
Edna L. BISHOP, wife, age 44, born IN, parents born NJ/IL
Horbert M. BISHOP, son, age 23, born IN
Josephine BISHOP, dau, age 20, born IN
Herbert R. BISHOP, son, age 17, born IN
Lenore BISHOP, dau, age 15, born IN
Mary BISHOP, dau, age 12, born IN
Lyra BISHOP, dau, age 7, born IN
Lyra A. DUTCHESS, Mother-in-law, age 62, widow, born IL, parents born NH/NY
I also find that Charles DUTCHESS b. 18 Nov 1894 died Sept 1981 in
Galveston, IN.
I am hoping to see this photograph returned to family and would appreciate
your contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who
might be.
Thanks,
Shelley
