I've "rescued" a group of SAYRE Family photographs some from Seattle, WA
and
Denver, CO. Based on limited research I've been able to gather a
substantial amount of information regarding this family and have included
some of that information along with details of each photograph below:
1 - Robert Owen SAYRE, taken at his desk in June 1910, he appears to be in
his 30's or 40's at the time - I believe it was taken in Seattle, WA
Robert Owen SAYRE was b. 1875 in Illinois and d. 1926 and is buried in the
Evergreen Washelli Memorial Park Cemetery in Seattle, WA
2 - Alfred Owen SAYRE, taken at the Palace Studio in Denver, CO, likely in
the early 1900's with Alfred only a couple years old at the time - name of
R. O. SAYRE appears on the back of the photograph as well
Alfred Owen SAYRE was b. 18 Nov 1899, married Gwendolyn MAURER (1903-1995)
and he died in Oct 1979 in Blaine, WA and is buried in the Enterprise

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