I've "rescued" two old photographs identified as Ruth M. DEMMARY. The
first
was taken at the Trover Studio in Williamsport, Indiana, likely sometime in
the 1870's or 1880's when Ruth was just an infant. The second photograph
was taken at the Phillips & Bergstresser Studio in Danville, Illinois. This
second photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Ruth likely
about 3 years old at the time it was taken.
Based on limited research I was able to locate some information regarding
the family:
Ruth Mary DEMMARY b. 14 Jan 1886 in Rossville, IN to parents Francis Ashbell
DEMMARY and Frances Abigail MOFFITT
I am hoping to locate someone from her family so that these wonderful old
photographs can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of
this family, or if you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
