George was born in PA, Birth Year Unknown. He married about 1887-88 to Frances Rose COWAN (or CHRISS) who was b. 1870 maybe in West Virginia . They had two daughters, Lillian Georgia STEDHAM, b. 1889 TX or NM, and Hazel Beatrice STEDHAM - - aka Bertha - - , b. 1890 TX. I think this was in or near El Paso. George STEDHAM died sometime between early 1890s and 1900 and his wife Frances Rose remarried to John MCDONALD by 1900. Frances Rose, her second husband John MCDONALD and her two daughters relocated to Arizona and then later, in the 1930s moved to Los Angeles, CA. Found among old family belongings is an old family group photo. It is suspected that it is a photo of my grandmother's people - - as above, Hazel Beatrice STEDHAM, aka Bertha, whose father was George STEDHAM. The photo isn't in very good condition, but the faces of most still pictured can be viewed using a zoom w/a picture viewer or some kind of photoshop program. There is some writing on the photo which reads as follows: the old man sitting...."granddad" the old lady sitting....."grandma" the man standing behind granddad....."papa" If anyone would like to see this photo, please contact me at Nora31@aol.com.
