I've "rescued" an old photograph of Laura A. STEVENSON which was taken at the Shively Studio in Decatur, IL. The photograph is dated 26 Apr 1887 and notes that Laura is 3 years old at the time. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Laura and her family: Laura STEVENSON was b. Apr 1884 in Monticello, IL to parents Wilbur F. STEVENSON (1842-1920) and Alice TALLMAN (1850-1929). Laura was one of 5 children born to this couple including, Evan; Ida Schalk; Lydia; Laura; and Mary Elizabeth STEVENSON, all born between 1872 and 1889. Laura married Jonas Joseph William AYRE (1882-1944) and together they had a son, Robert Stevenson AYRE (1912-1997). Her sister Lydia married into the BOGGS Family and died in 1931 in Morgan County, IL and her sister Ida died in 1971 in Scottsdale, AZ. Census records provide the following details: 1900 census of Monticello, IL: Wilber F. STEVENSON, age 51, born Nov 1842, married 29 years, born KY, parents born KY/OH, a Landlord Allie T. STEVENSON, wife, age 49, born Dec 1850, married 29 years, 5 children/5 living, born OH, parents born OH Evan STEVENSON, son, age 27, born Sept 1872, born IL, a Lawyer Lydia STEVENSON, dau, age 18, born Feb 1882, born IL, at School Laura STEVENSON, dau, age 16, born Apr 1884, born IL, at School Mary STEVENSON, dau, age 10, born Jun 1889, born IL, at School Susan FASOA, Mother, age 70, born Feb 1830, a widow, 5 children/3 living, born OH, parents born OH I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to its rightful place, with a family member.

Hello, I was going to request some obituaries from the Arizona Archives, but they want me to name a newspaper. There are 4 obituaries that I am looking for with 2 people who lived in Phoenix and 2 people who lived in Sun City. The time period is 1980-1985. I contacted the Archives for advise. They gave me the names of 3 newspapers in Sun City. I have no idea which ones were likely to publish obituaries. They also directed me to a database at the Mesa Regional FHC, but the names I am researching did not appear in that database. Does that mean that it is likely there were no obituaries for these people? I am not sure how to proceed and would appreciated any advise that could be offered. Thank you, Cheri -- www.sletten.name

I've "rescued" an old photograph of John Farrar MORGAN which was taken at the S. G. Rogers Studio in Washington, PA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with John noted as 1 year old at the time it was taken. Based on limited research and thanks to a MORGAN Family Researcher, I was able to gather the following information regarding John and his family: John Farrar MORGAN was b. 29 Apr 1882 in Cannonsburg, PA to parents Mary Louise FARRAR (b. 8 Feb 1841 in White Farm, Cherry Valley, PA-d. 21 Aug 1899 in Carnegie, PA) and Billingsley MORGAN (b. 11 Mar 1840 in Bridgeville, PA - d. 11 Aug 1916 in Carnegie, PA). John was one of 6 children born to this couple including, Elizabeth "Bessie" Hindman; Jennie Farrar; George Billingsley; James Edward; and John Farrar; and Jane MORGAN, all born between 1875 and 1883 in Washington and Allegheny Co. PA. John married Edna Irene CORLL (b. 11 Sept 1885 in Youngstown, OH-d. 1967) on 3 Sept 1907 in Carnegie, PA and together they had a son, John Farrar MORGAN Jr. born in 1918 and died 24 May 2007 in West Linn, OR. John Farrar MORGAN Sr. died 8 Apr 1954 in San Bernardino, CA. John Jr.'s wife Gladys MORGAN died 12 Oct 2007 with her obituary stating that she and her husband John Farrar Jr. meet during high school in Alhambra CA, married in 1941, and lived in Santa Monica, CA. They moved to Whittier CA in 1952 and then to West Linn, OR in 1984. Their children were Jan MORGAN DAOUST of West Linn, OR and John Timothy MORGAN of Phoenix, AZ. I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
