This batch of
photos was submitted by Esther J. Connell, who asks, "Attached
are photos of people who are supposed to have lived in Linn
County during the last half of the 1800's. Can someone help
with identification?" Possible clues may be found in
her family information:
Solomon Miller
born Jan. 29, 1835 in Ohio, died Jan. 7, 1892 at Center
Point and his wife Mary Ann Theuer Miller born Feb.
11, 1831 in Germany and died ca. 1876 in Marion Co., Ohio.
They had at least one child: Henry Washington Miller
born June 24, 1860 in Ill/Ohio and he was a brick maker and
he died July 7, 1937 in Dickinson Co, Iowa. He was married
Nov. 10, 1887 in Center Point to Mary Ellen Robbins
and she was born Feb. 18, 1866 in Center Point and died June
25, 1946 in Dickinson County, IA..
Then we also have James
Wallace Robbins, a shoemaker, born March 20, 1825 in PA
and died March 20, 1889 in Center Point. He was married May
25, 1856 in Jackson Co., IA. to Leusetta/Lucetta E. Doss.
She was born Feb. 12/22, 1838 in IN and died May 3/13, 1887
in Center Point.
James' parents were:
John Robbins, a farmer and a shoemaker who had retired
by 1878, born Dec. 19, 1800 in Mercer Co., PA and died in
Center Point IA on Sept. 25, 1884. He was married in 1827
to Elizabeth Bronson, born March 5, 1896 in PA and
died Dec. 22, 1874 in Center Point.
Lucetta's parents were
Greenberry Doss who came to Iowa about 1844, was in Lynn
Co., by 1850. He was born ca. 1812 in KY and married Nov.
14, 1835 in IN where they lived until about 1840; to
Elizabeth Mikels and she was born ca. 1811 in Ireland.
I have nothing further on her.
Hopefully
someone will have similar pictures or will know who some of
them are. If you can help with any of these photos, E-mail
Esther at:

This is a
picture of what looks like a minor league ball player. The
time frame is probably somewhere in the late 20's or in
the 30's, and his last name may be Bione. The picture was
taken by Hardendorf who was located on 220 Third Ave in Cedar
Rapids. There is nothing written on the back. Can anyone
identify the fellow or the team for which he played?

I've "rescued" an old photograph of
MARY FILLMORE taken at the Elliott Studio in Marion,
Iowa. The photograph appears to have been taken in the
1870's or 1880's with Mary appearing to be in her 30's or
40's at the time. It appears that the photograph was
probably a gift to her brother because in addition to her
name on the back of the photograph someone has written "To
Brother". I'm hoping to find someone from Mary's
family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned
to the care of family. If you are a member of this family
or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks,
Shelley familia@sprintmail.com

Post card photos of a Sunday
School class. Date and location unknown. Both cards appear to have
been taken of the same group of children, but with slight differences are apparent.
"Turner's Real Photograph, Marion, IA." listed on back of each.
No post-mark or dates. Linda Hendryx suggests: The
two boys in the picture...to the right marked with an X could be
____and Wayne J Abel. Perhaps the two older girls are in the picture
too: Norma Bell Abel Berryman 1888-1923 (top left) Millie May Abel Fleming 1899-1969 (bottom left)or Berle Arletta Abel Reed 1899-1952 If you can help identify this class or
school, please contact the county coordinator.
