I've "rescued" three photographs belonging to the PERKS Family of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The first is a photograph of George A. PERKS who was the son of Richard & Eliza PERKS and the half-brother of William Townsend PERKS Sr. The photograph was taken at the P. Edward D. Chillman & Co. Studio in Philadelphia, PA sometime in the 1880's. The second photograph is one of William PERKS Sr. with his wife Mary PERKS and their son William T. PERKS Jr. which was taken at their summer home in Wildwood, NJ. William PERKS Jr. is a toddler at the time the photograph was taken. There are a number of unidentified people in the photograph as well. The final photograph of identified as William "Bill" PERKS at First National Bank of Philadelphia with Mike BORTULIN and Mr. HILDEBRAND. This photograph is of I believe William Jr. and was probably taken in the early 1900's with Bill appearing to be in his 30's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this PERKS Family: George Amos PERKS was b. 2 Apr 1850 in Kidderminster, England to parents Richard PERKS (1824-1884) and Eliza STARR (1823-1869). George was one of 8 children born to this couple including, Clara Ann; Agnes; George Amos; Letitia; Evalina; Caroline Taylor; Emma Marcella; and Harry Franklin PERKS, all born between 1846 and 1864. After Eliza passed away Richard PERKS remarried Annie MCGRATH (1846-1879) and had four additional children including, Harry T.; William Townsend; Richard Stanley; and Walter Whitman PERKS, all born between 1871 and 1879. George's father remarried a third time after the death of his second wife to Leonettie ELMER (1847-1897) but didn't have additional children. George married Iola H. ISZARD (1855-1911) and together they had a daughter, Emma Sommers PERKS (1877-1877). George died 1 Apr 1888 in Camden, NJ. William Townsend PERKS Sr. was b. 19 May 1873 in Camden, NJ to parents Richard PERKS and Annie MCGRATH and died 20 Mar 1953 in Havertown, PA and is buried in the Arlington Cemetery in Pennsauken, NJ. His wife was Mary Elizabeth BOWNE (1871-1950). They had a son William Townsend PERKS Jr. was b. 5 Apr 1905 in Camden, NJ. Son William Jr. married Clara May GIPE (1909-1999) in 1935 and he died 19 Jul 1992 in Fort Lauderdale, FL and is buried in the Prospect Hill Cemetery in York, PA. I am hoping to locate someone from this PERKS Family so that the photographs can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hi! My mom married, very briefly, the man above. She divorced him and he wound up in Broward County, Florida. He was married twice more. 1. Joyce Evelyn BLACKMAN - 7 Apr 1942, divorced 1951 2. Annabelle UNKNOWN - 1952, divorced Apr 1961 Roy was born 26 Aug 1908 and died 14 Aug 1962. Here is a blip I found about his death: 19 Aug 1962 The Palm Beach Post Man Dies While Installing Radio SOUTH BAY Roy Lambert Richardson, 54, of 2800 NW 31st St., Fort Lauderdale, dropped dead here of a heart attack Tuesday while putting in a short wave radio at the State Road Dept. office opposite Town Hall. Frank Willits and Jim Neathery applied artificial respiration. Richardson was taken to Belle Glade Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Williams Funeral Home of Belle Glade... It may be greedy, but I seek: 1. The full name of Annabelle. 2. Any kids with Joyce or Annabelle? 3. Photo or newspaper clipping (of course, electronic) of anything related to his death, including an obituary. Thanks for any assistance/leads you can (pardon the expression) dig up!

I've "rescued" an old photograph of John and Will LUNSMAN which was taken at the Remillard Studio in Newburgh, NY. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with the two young boys likely about 6-8 years old at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research and thanks to a SMITH Family Researcher I was able to gather the following information regarding this family: William Henry LUNSMAN was b. 18 Sept 1874 and his brother John B. LUNSMAN was b. 22 Nov 1876, both were born in Cornwall, NY to parents John Daniel or Daniel John "Dan" LUNSMAN (b. Jan 1845 in New York) and Mary "May" A. EMSLIE (b. Jun 1846 in New York, NY to parents James EMSLIE Sr. and Jane WESTON-d. 1911). The couple had a third child, Janie LUNSMAN. John married Nellie May SMITH (b. 1876 in Long Island, NY to parents Orlando Gardiner SMITH and Mary Rebecca BLYDENBURGH) in 1900 and they had a daughter, Gladys M. LUNSMAN (b. 1903 in Cornwall, NY-d. 18 Sept 2003 in Pompano Beach, FL) who later married Thomas Graham TAYLOR in 1949, though it appears that they did not have any children. William married Caroline LUNSMAN (b. 1877) and they had two children, Daniel J. (b. 28 Jul 1911-d. 27 Aug 1987 in Volusia Co. FL) and Willis Lent (b. 15 Jun 1913-d. 11 May 1979 in Fort Pierce, FL) LUNSMAN. William's son Daniel married Florence V. REARDON (b. 18 Oct 1909 - d. 15 Jul 2001) in 1936 and it appears the couple may not have had any children. William's son Willis is indicated as married after 1940 but there is no information on children in family records. Census records provide the following details: 1880 census of Cornwall, NY: James D. EMSLIE, age 60, a Baker, born Scotland, parents born Scotland Jane EMSLIE, wife, age 60, Keeping House, born England, parents born England Richard EMSLIE, son, age 22, Journeyman Baker, born NY May LUNSMAN, dau, age 32, At Home, born NY William H. LUNSMAN, grandson, age 5, at School, born NY, parents born NY John B. LUNSMAN, grandson, age 3, born NY, parents born NY 1900 census of Cornwall, NY: Dan LUNSMAN, age 55, born Jan 1845, married 28 years, born NY, parents born Germany, a Carpenter Mary LUNSMAN, wife, age 53, born Jun 1846, married 28 years, 3 children/2 living, born NY, parents born Scotland/England William LUNSMAN, son, age 26, born Sept 1873, born NY, a Farmer John LUNSMAN, son, age 24, born Mar 1875, born NY, a Carpenter I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thank you, Shelley

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Clyde HEBBARD which was taken at the Harry L. Plummer Studio in Lewiston, ME in the early 1900's. Clyde is noted as a member of the Hebron Academy Class of 1907. Based on limited research I was able to discover the following about Clyde and his family: Clyde Thornton HEBBARD was b. 24 Jan 1889 in Norway, ME to parents William Henry HEBBARD (1857-1910) and Harriet "Hattie" Leona PINGREE (1857-1942). Clyde was one of 5 children born to this couple including, James Robert; Harold Esmat or Esmot; Waldo Henry; Unnamed Male Child; and Clyde Thornton HEBBARD, all born between 1880 and 1889. Clyde married Elizabeth "Lizzie" Belle MOORE (1878-1961 or 1968) on 17 Jan 1915 in Maine and was living in Detroit, MI when he registered for the draft in 1917. Clyde died 13 Jul 1975 in Fort Lauderdale or Osceola, FL. I am hoping to locate someone from this HEBBARD Family so that the photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
