I've "rescued" an old photograph of Eliza WILSON ORCUTT taken at the Frank Spencer Studio in Malone, NY. I believe the photograph was probably taken in the early 1900's with Eliza appearing to be in her 50's or 60's at the time. In addition to her name the following message is written on the back of the photograph: "Mae's and Hope's Grandmother ORCUTT" "Mayfred and Manfred's also" Based on limited research, I believe this is a photograph of Eliza G. WILSON b. 1847 or 1850 in NY, the daughter of Elijah WILSON (born in Canada or VT) and ??? (Mother b. in VT) who married Benjamin L. ORCUTT b. 1842 in VT. It appears that Eliza & Benjamin ORCUTT had four children, including Manfred (aka Fred M.); Harry; Josie M.; and Susie S.; all born in NY between 1876 and 1882. Eliza died in 1904 and is buried at the Ives Cemetery in Dickinson Center, NY and Benjamin died in 1920 and is also buried in the Ives Cemetery along with Eliza. Three of the children were living in NY at the time of Eliza's death, the fourth Harry was living in Los Angeles, CA at that time. Harry ORCUTT does appear in the 1920 census in Dickinson, NY with wife Nellie, and two children Malcolm and Hope. His sister-in-law Faith HOOK was also living with the family at that time and is included. I'm assuming it is his daughter Hope that is referred to on the photograph and that the others may be Fred's children since Mayfred appears to have been his given name. My hope is that someone from this family can be located so that the photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
