I have nine cabinet card-type photos and one post-card photo I'd like to return to family. I rescued these from various antiques malls this summer. These photos are unrelated, but I'm listing them in one post to save time.
#1 - Photo of three children, all look to be under age 5. Smallest is in a high chair. Photo taken in Perry, Iowa. On the back is written: "Blind Bill WAGNER's children. Born blind went to blind school. (cousins) (Gave music lessons)."
#2 - Photo of a young man, in suit with plaid bow tie. Photo taken in Bloomington, Illinois. On the back he is identified as Bert NIXON.
#3 - Photo of young man, taken in Brooklyn, New York. Identified as Frank WILLARD.
#4 - Photo of woman, looks hand-colored. Taken in Indianapolis, Indiana. Identified as "Mrs. MULLINIX, 162 English Ave., City." At the bottom of the back of the photo is "1898" but that may not be a date.
#5 - Photo of baby in white dress-type outfit. Taken in Woodward, Oklahoma. On back: "Miles Walter THOMPSON. to Aunt Mary."
#6 - Photo of young woman in high-collared dress. Identified as "Miss Mary COOK, Vandalia, Illinois." Photo taken in Vandalia, Illinois
#7 & #8 - These seem to be from the same family. First photo is of a man and woman. She has a high-collared dress. Photo taken in Edwardsville, Illinois and identified as either "Jno. BLUME" or "Ana BLUME." The second photo is of a young man in a suit, who bears a resemblance to the couple in the first photo. This one was taken in St. Louis, Missouri, and is identified as "Bill BLUME."
#9 - Adorable photo of young boy with long blonde curls and "knee britches" outfit. Taken in Alton, Illinois. Identified as Elmer DOWN. (Could this be the Elmer DOWN b. 1895, d. 1970, in or near Madison Co., Illinois, as listed in Social Security Death Index??)
#10 - Postcard photo of two children. No location listed. Identified as Alois and Virginia MEYER. Postcard partially addressed to Aunt Lulu MILLER.
Please contact me directly if any of these photos relate to your family. I'd love to return them to family.
