A one dollar photo found in Warren, Arizona. It was taken in the Wilcox studio in Sioux City, Iowa. On the back in pencil is the following:

Oct 3rd 1923
Hope 15
Bea 23

E. F. Bauldin[?]
509 Mound Ave
So. Pasadena
Calif


I began by searching the name Bauldin in the 1920 census using Soundex in Sioux City, Woodbury County, Iowa. There were 102 entries, so I narrowed it down by adding E. in the given name spot. This came back with 11 entries including an E. F. Bouldin.

Bouldin, E. F. 46 b. Kansas,Agent Real Estate

Bouldin, Amelia 47 b. Michigan

Bouldin, Beatrice 19 b. Illinois Bookkeeper Telephone

Bouldin, Hope 11 b. South Dakota

So obviously this is a match. 

Edward Franklin Bouldin was born on 2 February 1874, the son of William F. Bouldin and Sarah A. (--?--). On 5 June 1880, Edward lived with his parents and siblings Sulina, Minnie, and Rosa in Rockford, Floyd County, Iowa. His father was a laborer.[1]

Edward was married on 19 September 1899 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois to Amelia Matherson. Amelia was born in 1871.[2]

On 4 June 1900, Edward and Amelia lived at 619 W. 69th Street in Chicago. Edward was a conductor.[3]

In April 1910, Edward F. and Amelia Bouldin and daughters Beatrice and Hope lived at 1107 15th in Sioux City. Edward was a commercial traveler in groceries.[4]

On 12 September 1918, he and Amelia lived at 2929 Jennings in Sioux City, Iowa. He worked as a traveling salesman for Zoberton-Warfield Company. He was tall, medium height, had blue eyes, and medium brown hair.[5]

On 7 January 1920, E. F. and Amelia and their daughters Beatrice and Hope lived at 2518 Pierce Street in Sioux City. Edward was a real estate agent and Beatrice was a telephone bookkeeper.[6]

Edward died on 13 March 1930 from angina pectoris in Sioux City.[7] He was buried in Logan Park Cemetery in Sioux City.[8] Amelia died in November 1956 and is also buried in Logan Park Cemetery.[9]

Edward and Amelia (Matherson) Bouldin were the parents of two children:

I purchased a box of photos at an estate sale here in Tucson for $20. Very few of the photos had names on them, but luckily there were a set of letters written in 1927 that identified them as belonging to the Henry Colt family. The letters were written by a teenaged girl to the son of the family. She was at a summer camp in Maine. They didn't provide much useful information other than a name and address. Letter to Henry Colt, Olivetas Street, La Jolla, California. The photos were of a variety of people. The oldest three are of a child, a pair of young women, and a group of men posed in front of a log cabin. Unidentified child. Two unidentified women. On the back: Eatons. I researched the Henry Colt family and was able to identify the people in most of the photographs. Henry Orne Colt was born on 29 July 1881 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, son of William Francis Colt and Alice Orne. [1] The family has not been located on the 1880 census. On 6 June 1900, Henry lived with his mother,...

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...

Two more photographs. They are by the C. A. Carlson studio at 1509 Fifth Street in West Superior, Wisconsin. The first has written in black ink on the back is "Mr. & Mrs. Matson." The scone has written in black ink on the back "The Matson children September 1895." So I started by looking at the 1900 census for Douglas County, Wisconsin where West Superior is. There were 27 Matsons. There were four heads of households. None of them had five children. I then searched Matsons throughout Wisconsin, and found that there were 572. I checked the counties bordering Douglas County- Bayfield, Burnett, Ashland, and Washburn- and failed to find any matches. So these people will remain unidentified for now.
