I've "rescued" an old photograph of L. D. BECKWITH which was taken at the C. W. Lucas Studio in Brodhead, Wisconsin. The photograph is dated 4 Jan 1892 with the young man in the photograph likely in his teens or 20's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research and thanks to a BECKWITH Family Researcher I was able to gather the following information regarding this young man and his family: Loring Dumas BECKWITH was b. 16 Oct 1872 in Longmont, Colorado to parents Frederick Clark BECKWITH (b. 22 Jan 1840 in NH) and Louisa Patten FISHER (b. 1840 in ME). Loring was one of two children born to this couple including, himself and a sister Helen Josephine BECKWITH b. 2 Aug 1875 in Longmont, CO. Loring married Charlotte "Lottie" Adorra DOOLITTLE (b. 21 Jan 1874 in Magnolia, WI dau of John E. DOOLITTLE and Kate A. DONALDSON) on 8 Aug 1903 in Brodhead, WI. Loring died 11 Sept 1968 in San Joaquin Co., CA and is buried in the Casa Bonita Mausoleum in Stockton, CA. Census records provide the following details: 1870 census of St. Vrain, CO: Fred C. BECKWITH, age 30, a Retail Merchant, born NH Louisa BECKWITH, age 20, Keeping House, born ME Elmer F.

BECKWITH Loring's son Marc Frederick BECKWITH was b. 12 Mar 1906 in Canon City, CO and died 2 Oct 1997 in San Joaquin, CA. Marc's obit indicates that he was survived by wife Frances BECKWITH of Stockton, sons Vernon BECKWITH of Davis, CA, and Anthony BECKWITH of San Jose, CA, and brother Wade BECKWITH of Hornbrook, CA. Loring's son Claude Emory BECKWITH b. 1913 in NM died in San Joaquin, CA in 1928. Youngest son, Wade C. BECKWITH died 28 Oct 1997 in Siskiyou, CA. I am hoping to locate someone from this BECKWITH Family so that the photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
