Reuniting James Murray Humphrey Photo with Family Member

Posting about my found photos sometimes brings lost photos to family members.
Today I received an email about a previous post about  James Murray Humphrey and that he is her second cousin.
Hopefully soon this beautiful old photo will find a new home.

It has been a long time since I have posted  here. Will attempt to return more often.
My time is spent on finding and selling vintage photos and paper items on eBay under the name

No name to tell me who she is but she lived in the early 1900s in Ishpeming , Michigan and her photo was taken by Childs Art Galley.

ORPHAN VINTAGE 128 PHOTO FAMILY OUTING IN THE WOODS OF MINNESOTA

This photo was among some family photos I bought recently. The family lived in the Duluth, Minnesota area so I am guessing this where the photo was taken.
Large family great clothing. No names but on the back is written Summer 1905. The lady I bought from was a Nelson so sure many of these had that last name.
Thanks for stopping by. Grace

Orphan Photo #126 Belly On Up To The Bar Sweetie ~ Vintage RPPC

Here is one of my vintage Real Picture Postcards I have found and I will be selling on the Internet.
 No names to tell me who these ladies are.
They are pictured by a fake bar pretending to be a bartender and a drinker. Take note of their short hair that is unusal for this time period. They appear darker skin so could be hispanic.
They are so pretty with their sweet smiles. Sure wish I knew who they were. Take a look at some of the signs hanging at bar.

ORPHAN PHOTO #125 Vintage Real Postcard John Arvid Someli Indo was married to Hulda Jussila in 1922

This orphan vintage real post card is of a young man posed in a simple chair. Dressed in a business type suit.

Back of post card has a paper taped on it that has the name John Arvid Someli Indo
born 03 -25 -1885 died 09 -19 -1924. Married Hulda Jussila on 09 - 29 - 1922, buried at Park Hill on 09 - 25 -1924 Div G Row 24 Grave 23. There is a Park Hill Cemetery in Duluth Minnesota.
Post card is from the 1901 to 1907 era so young man was in his 20 and I think it was taken here in the United States.


I find John living as a boarder in the 1920 census in Duluth. He was listed as a laborer working in the woods, is widowed and immigrated from Finland in 1913.
I find a Hulda living in Duluth and listing John as her husband and that he is deceased.  She was living in what is now the down town area of  Duluth on South 1st ave West.
Sadly from this picture I can see that he was married to Hulda just two years before he died at the age of 39 years old.
I could not find him in any family trees on ancestry at this time. Searched for his wife Hulda, I found that she immigrated from Finland landing in Canada and then coming to the United States in February of 1910. She was born about 1885. No family trees found at this time.

ORPHAN PHOTO # 124 Vintage Real Postcard 1900s Dressed in Best Coat and Hat

This orphan photo is a vintage real post card from the early 1900s. Sadly there is no name to help identify this young woman. She is all dressed up to go out to visit friends in her coat and hat with flower on the side. I wish I could see the dress it appears simple and light weight and may have a design to match the hat. You can see a bit of design on the left side.

Back of post card is not divided and has AZO in stamp area. This post card is from the era of 1901 to 1907.

Orphan Photo #121 Merry Christmas Happy New Year From Paul, DeLois and Cheryl

Hunting through photos for Christmas photos to share tonight. This is one that came in a group of photos.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from this smiling young family. No last name or where they lived.
Not exactly sure of her name but his is Paul and their daughter is Cheryl, looks like mama's name may be DeLois.
I am guessing this photo  is from the 1970s or 1980s and our little Cheryl is about 1 years old.
What do you think?

BLACK AND WHITE SNAPSHOTS ORPHAN PHOTOS CONTINUE 107 108 109,110

I can not help myself, not only do I enjoy my own family photos and year books, I am a sucker for those that do not belong to me.
I want to look at them, wonder about the people in the picture and then pass them on to others.
Whether they are sold in my spot at the antique store or on eBay they are my precious treasures till they have moved on.  Right now I have three great auctions vintage photos for sale on eBay.

For some reason pictures of people in their caskets are popular. I do not understand it but bought some vintage photos at auction and several were this type. A older man in his casket and photos of people at cemetery. I picked two and put them up for auction. If they sell I have others to offer. Orphan photos 107 and 108 are below.

Then there is the one of a gentleman from either the 1940's or 1950's I am guessing. He is standing in front of what looks like corn and behind him is his band.  What makes this old black and white snapshot picture a treasure of history is his van.  Written on it is the bible verse John 3: 16. He is a traveling preacher spreading his belief.  Here is orphan photos 109

Last is orphan photo 110 of a darling young boy in the field with his dog and pitch fork.
No names or locations on any othese these photos I am sad to report.

Hope that you enjoy seeing these treasures and if interested grab them today. They end tomorrow evening. Grace

BIRCHWOOD WISCONSIN 1929 BABY ERNEST Orphan Photo # 105

I am a sucker for old photos, I go to an auction, estate sale or antique store and I always have to check out the photos. I find it so sad that they are sitting some where other than a family photo album.
This old snapshot is of baby Ernest who is about 5 1/2 months old in the year 1929. Only identifying mark is written the year, first name and Birchwood Wisconsin.
Will put up for sale in my eBay store and hope that some one will want it because they collect or someone will recognize the people pictured and they will want to add to their family photo.
Till then it sits in my orphan photo album.

Thanks for taking a stop by Grace

VINTAGE ORPHAN PHOTO # 104 DARLING YOUNG CHILDREN BOZELL FAMILY

Orphan Photo # 104 is of four young children. Two are boys and two are darling little girls. The girls are wearing matching dresses.
This is a cabinet photo with photographer name looking like SD Hirst. On back is written in pencil Gust Johnson . Written in pen is Harvey Bozell first row which leads me to believe is the boy in the back. Under that is written Mamie Echerson, Dewey Bozell and Alpha Bozell.
Being that the girls are in matching dresses and have different last names makes me believe that she may have lived with them with her parents passing away or some other tragedy.
I have found a Harvey Bozell on ancestry living in Indiania. I do not know if this is same Harvey but if so would love to share this picture with them.

I am sharing this at Nifty Thrifty Tuesday.

Thanks for stopping by and viewing this photo.Hope that you will take a minute and search some of my other vintage photos. Grace
