Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/TKQ.2ACIB/541 Message Board Post: I recently purchased a Cabinet Portrait Studio Photograph of a handsome young man, from an antique dealer in Arlington Heights, IL, which says on the back: “Frank Covey". I enjoy buying lovely old pictures like these (with names on the back and locations on the front) from antique dealers and locating descendants/family members so that I can re-unite them, for only my costs, with people who will treasure them. The picture was taken in approximately 1890 + or - a few years, and it was taken by the Huebinger Studio, 600 Main st., Peoria, IL. Frank is wearing a shirt, tie, vest and outercoat. He has brown hair, and wears a mustache. The picture is in very good condition and is an original (not a copy), although it seems to be dimming a bit after these 110 years. The picture is 4-1/4” x 6-1/2” and is mounted on heavy cardboard as was typical during those days. If Frank is in your family line or if you can relate to the Covey family in the area of Peoria County, IL, please contact me directly at margerice@prodigy.net and I will get back to you shortly.
