 Another fire department estate sale photo find. A folder containing over-sized photos from the Risdon studio of Safford and Clifton, Arizona. On the back of written in ink "Elizabeth Maurer Safford Ariz Box 373." Stamped on the back in red and black ink is "17 31 20." I went to Findagrave.com and searched for Maurer living in Safford, Graham County, Arizona. One couple showed up, Benjamin and Elizabeth Maurer. I assumed that the photos are of that couple (and this was proven when similar photos were found on Ancestry.com). Benjamin Maurer, 1867-1935. Elizabeth A. (Hoffman)(Crabbe)(Maurer) Stratton, 1886-1940. Benjamin Maurer was born on 1 January 1869 in New York, the son of Benjamin Maurer and Mary Haller. Benjamin was married first on 5 September 1891 in El Paso County, Texas to Ella M. Dalton. Ella was born in December 1871 in New York. By August 1897, the couple was living in Willcox, Arizona. Ben owned land in Safford (Graham Guardian (Safford, Arizona), 13 A...

A photo with minimal information. Can I identify the family? I purchased a lot of photos from an estate sale auction. This one was in a modern frame. I could see the photographer's studio mark- E. J. STONE, DEXTER, MICH. When I removed the photo from the frame, I found TODD FAMILY on its back. Who were these people? I went to the Directory of Early Michigan Photographers available online here . Edmund J. Stone operated his studio in Dexter, Washtenaw County, Michigan between 1898 and 1907. Todd Family, front of photo. Back of photo. Examining the photograph, the family appears to have been, arranged by age: 1). Adult male (father) 2). Adult female (mother) 3). Oldest child- male 4). Second oldest child- male 5). Third oldest child- female 6). Fourth oldest child- female 7). Fifth oldest child- male 8). Infant, unknown sex  On Ancestry.com I then searched the 1900 census for Dexter, Washtenaw County, Michigan for the surname Todd. No results. I broadened the search to the entire Was...

I purchased a set of photographs of University of Michigan students from the late 1890s. Three of them were the same individual, Edgar P. O'Leary.  The first is from the Gibson and Clark studio of Ann Arbor, Michigan. On the back in pencil is "Edgar O'Leary." Edgar O'Leary. The second photo does not have a studio name. It is quite small, 3.5 inches by 3 inches. On the back in black ink is "Mr. O'Leary May 24 1898" and the letter L. Mr. O'Leary. The third photo, also quite small, does not have a studio name. On the back in black ink is "Edgar P. O'Leary July 10-99 After" The word After is in quotation marks. Edgar P. O'Leary.  What can I learned about him? I searched Newspapers.com  and Genealogybank.com for "Edgar O'Leary."  I quickly discovered he had moved from Michigan to Colorado. I located census records in Kansas and Colorado. Below is a time line of his life. 1875 (March)- Edgar lived with his parents and s...
