From a c1910 Photo Album taken in the Shenadoah area, Schuylkill Co Pennsylvania

I found this years ago in a box where my mother kept a lot of her old pictures. It shows a store in Richwoods, Tennessee, Dyer County, circa 1918.

Would like to send May back to family. Her portrait is from the photo albums of Edward Milton Peters, who lived in Rushville, Missouri, for many years and spent the remainder of his life in St. Joseph. He died in 1941. Photographer J.W.Souder, St Joseph.

Miss Jennie Quigley, 19 years old. Height 28 inches; weight 32 lbs. Photographer Hughes & Co., St. Louis.

Here is another image from the album I purchased. I can only imagine how itchy and hot their wool bathing suits were to wear on the sunny beach at Atlantic City. Note: I "assume" this is Atlantic City. Does anybody have any information regarding the "Globe" (theatre?) sign in the back ground to substantiate this being Atlantic City?

Another image from the old family album I purchased years ago in Portsmouth, Ohio (for only $2.00 - What a deal AND a steal!), this "bathing beauty" is one of a few images in the album illustrating of a group of friends in Atlantic City!

Matt H. Shay, a rare triplex mallet type locomotive. Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Eddystone, PA, in 1914. Used for drag freight and pusher service over a short section of Erie's main line in northern Pennsylvania. When built she was the largest locomotive in the world, needless to say... View full size.

I was given this photo by a distant cousin and told that J.L. Wells was a distant relative of mine and this store was supposedly in Meridian, MS.

Dennis Patrick O'Manning is my great-great grandfather. He was the first paternal ancestor of my father to live in America, probably emigrating from Ireland in the 1830s. The origin of the photo is unknown, but was likely taken in the 1880s. He apparently lived most of his life in Illinois.

My grandpa Jack on another business trip. Here he stands with cannons in some Roman ruins, French Morocco, Africa. Sept 1951.
