Classification: Query
Surnames: Yates, Devendell, Fitch, Clark
I purchased in Alameda, CA the subject studio portrait of two teenagers taken by A. M. Powers, Schenectady, NY. It is identified on the back of the mount:

"H.C.Y.
83

Clyde Fitch Hettie Yates
1883"

The girl is shown in a Public Member Tree posted on ancestry.com. She is listed in the 1870 U.S. Census data, the 1875 New York State Census data, the 1880 and 1900 U.S. Census data, the 1905 New York State Census data, and the 1910 U.S. Census data for Schenectady (resided at 1 Washington Ave.), Schenectady Co., NY. Henrietta Cobb Yates, born Dec 1866 in NY, was the daughter of Austin Andrew Yates (1836-1921) and Josephine Devendell (1846-1919).

A likely candidate for the boy is William Clyde Fitch, who appears in a Public Member Tree posted on ancestry.com, and is listed in the 1880 U.S. Census data for Schenectady (resided at 23 Washington St.), Schenectady Co., NY. Born 2 May 1865 in Elmira, Chemung Co., NY, died 4 Sep 1909 in Paris, France, he was the son of William Goodwin Fitch (1833-1914) and Alice Maud Clark (1845-1917).
