I've "rescued" and old photograph of Harry ELDRIDGE which was taken at the
Staples Studio in Indianapolis, Indiana. The photograph appears to have
been taken in the 1880's with Harry likely in his teens at the time. Based
on limited research I was able to find Harry ELDRIDGE son of E. H. & S.
Sallie ELDRIDGE living in Indianapolis, IN during the 1880 census. The
census records for the family are as follows:
E. H. ELDRIDGE, age 35, b. MA, Lumber Dealer, parents b. in MA
S. Sallie ELDRIDGE, wife, age 29, b. PA, Keeping House, parents b. in PA
Harry ELDRIDGE, son, age 8, b. IL
Willie ELDRIDGE, son, age 7, b. IL
Bertha ELDRIDGE, dau, age 5, b. IN
Mollie RYAN, servant, age 24, b. OH, parents b. in Ireland
I'm hoping to locate someone from Harry's family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a
member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
