I have collected photographs and memoriabilia for some years, and have ended

up with some that are not my family. I'd love to have them return to their

families and so here is what I know (and surmise) about these DIGGORY family

photos, all taken in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Please contact me; I

can scan and send them by email or the first response will get the

originals.

Following 6 photos taken in Pueblo, Colorado

1. Uncle Ben Diggory
2. Mrs. (Alice) Benjamin Diggory

3 & 4. 2 pictures of same small (under 1 yr) child, both in Pueblo, CO. but

unnamed; unknown which family they belong to, but undoubtedly one of the

Diggory families
