I’ve “rescued” three old photographs belonging to the STORY Family of Massachusetts.  The first is a photograph of Edith STORY which was taken at the A B. Cross Studio in Salem, MA.  The photograph is dated 1876 with Edith appearing to be in her teens at the time.  The second photograph is one of Lyndon STORY and was taken at the Smith Studio in Boston, MA.  The second photograph was probably taken in the 1880’s with Lyndon appearing to be in his 20’s or 30’s at the time. The third photograph is of Julia STORY MEARS and was taken at the Lovell Studio in Amherst, MA. This photograph was likely taken in the 1880’s with Julia appearing to be in her 20’s or 30’s at the time. Based on limited research and thanks to the help of STORY and MEARS Family researchers I have gathered the following information regarding this family: Julianna STORY b. 25 May 1857, married George Franklin MEARS on 31 Dec 1883 in Essex, MA and died 18 July 1959 Lyndon Job STORY b. 10 Nov 1858 in Essex, MA, he married Mary Augusta DENNEN (daughter of Parker DENNEN and Margaret C. FRASIER) on 26 Jun 1892 in Essex, MA, and died 15 Dec 1931, Lyndon also had an illegitimate daughter, Edith Lyndon STORY b. 19 Sept 1891 in Essex, MA with Lillian S.
