THANK you for the reply. If you will send me an e-mail number direct? I will contact you about addresses.
My daughter's husband had both parents who were deaf and went to deaf school in Little Rock, Arkansas. When they married, they moved to California and lived out their lives happily married and raising their children.
There was a family who had a deaf member and they were good friends to our Morgan/Palmer/Windham/Scott family. Deaf people seek out others and have a very tight community.
This family had link to the Septrion family-I do not know how? Do know that the women were well off financially and traveled the world on cruise ships. IT is possible that they may have even worked for the cruise line? We are talking pre WWII here, unknown...only know that upon the death of the friends in California, their paper records and a few photos were given to our deaf Palmer family( Faye Palmer and his wife and they kept the few items for years.
upon the death of Faye and his wife...the living, family had to clean out the house. tHATS when the packet was discovered with the Septrion photo. Faye and his wife, as do many disabled people--never threw out anything. Their home was piled to the ceiling with papers, bags, furniture and even there was a full size decorated, birthday cake with candles, that had become--a rock!mummycake...found under a bed with one slice missing.
There are none in the California, Los Angeles-Long Beach, deaf community that we can find, at this date, that knew the women of the photos and none of the friends of the Palmers are still living. Faye, who did not speak and his wife knew the particulars but never told their son, Frank. He is still living and is not deaf.

the problem, I have is no full names. The one photo of the child, has been glued to another backing..we were a long time in trying to figgure out why and trying to figgure out what was written on the backing. Our grandchildren's family Morgan,Rost, Windham, Scott, were all Arkansas and we have many family lines there, of other marriages: Turner,JAMES, Taylor,DOYLE, Hooten, Massy, CAMPBELL,RUNYAN, Kite, Dodd, Goodwin, Flowers., HUGG...and many others.
For a long time we thought the little girl was Lisa Elizabeth DODD who was born 1884 and married 1902. The child in the photo is what we call, "a spitting image" of the Dodd women. Probably,just an interesting point.
At this time-we are calling it Cecile Septrion and will be happy to send it to you or any other person who is the kin.
I can scan it if you wish? Would you post it to your ancestry Septrion link, just in case someone else links?
