I've "rescued" an old photograph of Ellen Louise HENDERSON which was taken
at the McAdam Studio in Milford, Illinois. The photograph is dated
Christmas 1897 and indicates that Ellen was born April 26 1897. Based on
limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding
Ellen and her family:
Ellen Louise HENDERSON b. 26 Apr 1897 in Iroquois Co. IL to parents Harlin
Clyde HENDERSON (b. 20 Jul 1874 in NE) and Minnie Elanora LINDGREN (b. 24
Mar 1874 in White Co. IN). Ellen married John Sherman BAILEY (b. 2 Sept
1884 in Cuyahoga Co. OH. The couple had two children, John Sherman; and
Mary BAILEY. Ellen died in Los Angeles Co. CA in Jan 1987.

I am hoping to locate someone from this HENDERSON Family so that the
photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of
this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
