I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the ANDREW Family of
Indiana. The first is identified as Frank ANDREW born April 22nd 1873. The
photograph was taken at the J. W. Bryant Studio in LaPorte, IN and indicates
that it was taken on Nov 30th 1873. The second photograph was taken at the
same studio and appears to be of a young boy about 3 years old, could be
another photograph of Frank ANDREW but there is no name on this second
photograph so I don't know for sure.
Based on limited research I was able to locate the following census
information regarding the family:
1880 census of Scipio, IN:
John ANDREWS, age 49, a Farmer, born OH, parents born OH
Mariettie ANDREWS, wife, age 34, Keeping House, born IN, parents born ?/IN
Frank C. ANDREWS, son, age 7, born IN
+ 2 servants (Housekeeper and Farm Laborer)
1900 census of Clinton, IN: (living in the home of Riley F. & Ella K. SMALL)
Frank ANDREWS, age 27, born April 1873, born IN, parents born OH/IN, a Farm
Laborer
1910 census of Scipio Township, IN:
Frank ANDREW, age 37, born IN, parents born OH/IN, a Farmer
Etta C. ANDREW, Mother, age 62, a widow, born IN, parents born IN/VA
+ 1 hired man and 1 orphan girl
I am hoping to locate someone from Frank's family so that these wonderful
old photographs 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,
Shelley
