I've "rescued" a group of photographs belonging to the CARITHERS Family of
Indiana. Based on limited research I was able to gather some information
regarding the family and have included that information along with details
of the photographs below:
1. Edith May CARITHERS, taken at the Wright Studio in Princeton, IN,
1880's, an infant
2. Edith M. CARITHERS, taken at the Shubert Studio in Princeton, IN,
early 1900's, teens or 20's
3. Mary Ann MORROW CARITHERS, taken at the Shubert Studio in Princeton,
IN, early 1900's, 40's or 50's, note "Grandma CARITHERS"
Mary MORROW married Joseph CARITHERS and had at least one child, a son,
Ralph Morrow CARITHERS b. 7 Jun 1898 in Princeton, IN.
