I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the HIDAY and GREEN
Families
of Indiana. The first is a photograph of Katie HIDAY GREEN which was taken
at the W. B. Cuyler Studio in Greenfield, IN. The photograph appears to
have been taken in the 1890's with Katie likely in her teens or 20's at the
time it was taken. The second photograph is identified as Sam HIDAY and was
taken at the same studio in Greenfield, likely sometime in the 1880's or
1890's with Sam appearing to be about 5 years old at the time it was taken.
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information
regarding a couple possible matches:
Kate HIDAY b. 1876 in Green, IN to parents John Henry HIDAY and Margaret
Caroline WYNNE.

I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old

are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please
contact me.
Thanks,
