    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as "Grandma VANBUSKIRK" and her granddaughter Mrs. Minda AUSTIN. The photograph was taken at the Wood Studio in Troy, Pennsylvania and is dated 1894. The grandmother is likely in her 70's or 80's at the time and her granddaughter would appear to be in her 20's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following census information regarding the family: 1870 census of Granville Township, PA: Mary VANBUSKIRK, age 50, Keeping House, born NY James VANBUSKIRK, age 24, Farmer, born NY Erastus VANBUSKIRK, age 20, Farm Laborer, born PA Mary VANBUSKIRK, age 19, born PA 1880 census of Granville, PA: Mary VANBUSKIRK, age 61, Keeping House, born NY, parents born NY Minda VANBUSKIRK, grandau, age 8, at School, born PA, parents born NY/PA Living directly next door - Erastus VANBUSKIRK, age 29, a Farmer, born PA, parents born NY Josephine VANBUSKIRK, wife, age 25, Keeping House, born PA, parents born PA Jenny Ma VANBUSKIRK, dau, age 4, born PA Millie VANBUSKIRK, dau, age 1, born PA 1900 census of Granville Township, PA: Mary VANBUSKIRK, age 81, born May 1819, widow, 6 children/4 living, born NY, parents born NY Minda M.
