Jackson coffey@viptx.net Fri Aug 22 12:15:18 1997 Looking for a RUSSELL family. They might be of this county, but because Photographers of the period traveled around taking pictures, they may not have been here. I hope that the posting will go to "unknown", because definitely, it is unknown where these folks might have lived. I have come across a collection of photos in a sale. I'd like to make an attempt to locate family before the collection goes to a dealer for sale. I have extracted all tidbits from them, and present this to you in case you can help identify possible family members who might want to know of them. First, there is: personal letter dated 13 October 1942, from a "E.L.H.", who mentions sending a letter to Box 173, and mentions "Louise", of that address, no further address. It mentions that the writer has a Marine, and an 18 year old. Can't determine the gender of the author. identified picture 3 people, woman, mother? of boy and girl, about teenager's. On back, it reads "Stella Russell, Amity, MO". Amity is not on my MO. atlas, and possibly is extinct. The balance of the photos are all about pre 1900, or thereabouts, giving these photographers, or towns: Subject: Photographer: Location on photo of photog: young girl, about 6: Morgan, photog.; Maysville, MO young boy, 8?and baby: Morgan, photog, Maysville, MO baby: Roberts, photog, Stewartsville, MO baby: Miller, photog, 813 Francis St., St. Joseph, MO Adult male, 40's: Photograph given Free on account of buying a pair of Shoes at Condon's Store, Oswego, KS adult male, early 20's, or bit younger: Ditto, same background. baby, about 1yr: R.A. Marivn, Olathe, KS Young adult male, 20's: E. R. Rose, Photog., South Commercial St., Oswego, KS One picture of a house, family standing in front: looks like mother, about 50's; daughter, her husband, two children boy and girl, and another son, of the older mother facing the opposite direction, who looks to be in his 20's. So does daughter, mother of the two children. The house is large, single story, and may have some sort of printing on the door, possibly it is a business at home? All family is lined up out front. Other near by houses indicate it is in a town. The house has brick corner posts on the porch, about half way up. There is a sidewalk in front. Clothing is late 1880's-1900? maybe. Baby: J.E. Smoot, photog; Collinsville, I-T Baby: Cretor's Studio, photog. Baby, two photos: W. B. Rich, 712 Centre? Looks like the family was in Olathe, Johnson, Ks; Oswego, Labette, KS; Stewartsville, & and St. Joseph, Buchanan Co., MO; and Maysville, DeKalb Co., MO. That's not much to go on, but I hope someone knows enough about their family movements to think this might be their family. The only concrete thing is the Stella Russell name, the initials E.L.H. person; and KS & MO residences. I hope someone can identify and claim these photos of their family. Time is of the essence, I have them only to try and locate family online, before they get sold. ------------------------------------ Ed Hoole ehoole@rica.net Thu Aug 21 16:22:04 1997 Is there an obituary in existence for J(ames) Henry) HOOLE?
