I've "rescued" an old photograph of Abby RATHBUN MEISTER and Almon MEISTER which was taken at the Washburn Studio in New London, Connecticut. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Abby likely in her 40's and young Almon likely about 10-12 years old at the time. Based on limited research I was able to locate the family of John E. & Abbie R. MEISTER in the 1900 census of Groton, CT. Information in that census is as follows: John E. MEISTER, age 53, born Jan 1847, married 19 yrs, born Sweden, parents b. Sweden, to USA 1875, a Ship Joiner Abbie R. MEISTER, wife, age 44, born Aug 1855, married 19 yrs, 1 child/1 living, born CT, parents born CT Almon MEISTER, son, age 12, born Mar 1888, born CT, at School In 1920 I find Almon MEISTER living in Groton, CT with census records providing the following information: Almon MEISTER, age 31, born CT, parents born Sweden/CT, a Garage Proprietor Charlotte A. MEISTER, wife, age 31, born Canada, parents born Canada, to USA 1890 Thelma A. MEISTER, dau, age 10, born CT Vivian M. MEISTER, dau, age 7, born CT Doris MEISTER, dau, age 5, born CT I'm hoping to locate someone from this 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
