Another photograph from the antique store in Kingman, Arizona. It was taken at the G. S. Moore studio in New Lisbon, Ohio. On the back in pencil is: LYMAN W. SHULTZ. A card has been pasted on the front with the signature L. M. Shulz. 

New Lisbon is in Columbiana County, Ohio. I searched "Lyman Schul*" on the US census records and luckily there was a single man who matched.

Lyman M. Shultz.


Lyman M. Shultz was born on 18 April 1849 in Lisbon, Columbiana County, Ohio, the son of Martin H. Schultz and Emaline Clapsadle.

On 1 October 1850, one-year-old Lyman lived with his parents Maston and Emaline Shultz in Centre, Columbiana County, Ohio. His father was a merchant.[1]

On 21 June 1860, Lyman M. lived with his parents M. H. and Emeline Shultz in Lisbon, Columbiana County. His father was a merchant.[2]

On 1 June 1870, Lyman lived with his parents Martin and Emaline and a servant Elisabeth Worner in New Lisbon Center. Lyman was working as a merchant with his father and owned $1,500 in personal estate.[3]

On 24 June 1880, Lyman lived with his parents Martin and Emeline Shultz in Center, Columbiana County, A 19-year-old servant, Rosie Seadley, lived with them. The two men were dry goods merchants.[4]

Lyman was in charge of the New Lisbon Artillery Company in August 1885 during a 20 year reunion of Union Civil War soldiers.[5] He was called “Captain” but it is unclear whether he actually served in the United States military.

Lyman was married on 30 April 1890 in Columbiana County to Elizabeth “Lizzie” Irene Zimmerman.[6] Lizzie was born on 13 June 1862 in Lisbon, the daughter of John Zimmerman and Eliza Jane Myers.

Lyman was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in New Lisbon, serving as a trustee in April 1891.[7]

On 11 August 1891, Elizabeth gave birth to a son, John L. Shultz.[8]

Lyman died on 29 August 1891 in Lisbon, Columbiana County. He was buried in the Lisbon Cemetery.[9]

Lizzie died on 21 December 1941 in Lisbon. She is also buried in the Lisbon Cemetery.[10]

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.
