    1. BENNETT Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of the L. I. BENNETT Family which was taken at the Foreman Studio in Buckhannon, West Virginia. The photograph was likely taken in the 1800's with a young Mother in her 20's and three small children ranging in age from 1 year to 6 years old at the time. I believe all three are boys, though I am not absolutely certain regarding the baby. Based on limited research I believe that this may be the family of Lafayette I. BENNETT of Buckhannon, WV. I was able to locate the family in both the 1900 and 1910 census records as follows: 1900 census of Buckhannon, WV: Lafayette I. BENNETT, age 31, born Aug 1868, married 9 years, born WV, parents born WV, a Farmer Elizabeth M. BENNETT, wife, age 27, born Aug 1872, married 9 years, 5 children/5 living, born NE, parents born NY Isaac M. BENNETT, son, age 8, born May 1892, born WV, at School Charles S. BENNETT, son, age 6, born Mar 1894, born WV, at School Orion E. BENNETT, son, age 4, born Apr 1896, born WV Mary E. BENNETT, dau, age 2, born Mar 1898, born WV Unnamed BENNETT, dau, age 2 months, born May 1900, born WV 1910 census of Buckhannon, WV: Lafayette I. BENNETT, age 42, married 14 years, born WV, parents born WV, a Retail Grocer Elizabeth BENNETT, wife, age 44, married 14 years, 6 children/6 living, born NE, parents born NE Scott BENNETT, son, age 16, born WV Oran BENNETT, son, age 14, born WV Mary C. BENNETT, dau, age 12, born WV Rita BENNETT, dau, age 10, born WV I'm hoping to locate someone from the family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
