    1. AKERS - WYATT Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Mrs. Lafayette WYATT which was taken at the Baker Studio in Cleveland, Ohio. The photograph was taken 15 June 1899 with Mrs. WYATT appearing to be in her 70's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research and thanks to the help of a WYATT Family Researcher, I believe that this is a photograph of Sophronia M. JUDD WYATT. Lafayette WYATT married Sophronia M. JUDD on 31 Dec 1857 in Portage, OH. The L. F. WYATT Family was living in Brecksville, OH during the 1860 census with records providing the following information: L. F. WYATT, age 27, a Farmer, born Brecksville, OH Sophronia M. WYATT, age 31, born Blandfordville, MA Clara L. WYATT, age 1, born Brecksville, OH Celia LOVEJOY, age 19, a Domestic, born Royalton, OH The 1870 census of Brecksville, OH also includes the family as follows: Lafayette WYATT, age 36, a Farmer, born OH Sophronia WYATT, age 40, Keeping House, born MA Clara L. WYATT, age 10, attending school, born OH Cora WYATT, age 8, born OH Alla WYATT, age 4, born OH Eleanor MEKINS, age 22, Domestic Servant, born OH Clinton TATE, age 17, Farm Laborer, born OH In 1880 the family was still living in Brecksville, OH with census records providing the following information: Lafyett F. WYATT, age 46, born OH, a Farmer, parents born OH Sophronia WYATT, wife, age 51, born MA, parents born NH/MA Clare L. WYATT, dau, age 21, born OH, at Home Cora E. WYATT, dau, age 18, born OH, Teaching School Alice May WYATT, dau, age 14, born OH, Attending School The 1900 census of Cleveland, OH includes Sophronia M. WYATT living as a boarder in the house of John AKERS (I think this is her daughter and son-in-law's that she is living with: John AKERS, age 39, born June 1860, married 2 years, born OH, parents born England, a Contractor Cory AKERS, wife, age 38, born June 1861, married 2 years, no children, born OH, parents born OH/MA S. M. WYATT, age 71, a widow, born Mar 1829, born MA, parents born NH/MA I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
