I've "rescued" two old photographs of John A. SAVILLE, the first taken when
he was 8 1/2 years old at the Heyn Studio in Omaha Nebraska. This was most
likely taken sometime in the 1880's. The second photograph was taken at the
Radnar Coover Studio in Chicago, IL on 1 July 1900, with John appearing to
be in his 20's. Based on limited research I was able to gather the
following information regarding John and his family:
John Appleton SAVILLE was b. 2 Nov 1876 in Kearney or Center, NE to parents
Clara MCBRIDE (b. Jun 1842 in Ohio or New York) and John Jack SAVILLE (b.
1831 in Wayne Co. IN). John had one brother, Alfred W. SAVILLE b. 29 Apr
1873 in Iowa. John married Isabel or Isabelle or Esibella Frances WALLIS or
WALLAS (b. 25 Dec 1874 in Illinois) sometime about 1902 and together they
had three children including, Marian McLeod; William Wallis; and Robert W.
SAVILLE, all born between 1906 and 1916 in Chicago, IL. John died 18 Jul
1968 in Orange Co. CA and is buried in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in
Glendale, CA.

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