I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the APPLETON Family. The first is one of Frank APPLETON which was taken at the Gamer Studio in Omaha, NE. The photograph is dated 31 May 1899 and indicates that Frank is 9 years old at the time, listing his birthday as the 2nd of March. The second photograph is one of Saville APPLETON which was taken at the Hannah & Eliason Studio in Salem, SD. A note on the back indicates that it was given to Sadie on 12 Mar 1901 and that Saville is "Alf's Cousin". Someone has also added that Saville died 8 May 1914 at the age of 48 years. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding these APPLETON Family members: Frank S. APPLETON was born 2 Mar 1890 in Sioux City, IA to parents Oliver B. APPLETON (1852-1903) and Elizabeth "Lizzie" FANNING (1859-1919). Frank had one sibling, a sister Hannah Isabel APPLETON (1888-1963). Frank married Emma APPLETON (b. 1869) and he died at the age of 26 on 29 Nov 1917 in Omaha, NE and is buried in the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Omaha, NE. Saville W. APPLETON was born Jan 1867 in Sioux City, IA to parents Amos R. APPLETON (b. 1819 or 1822 in New Jersey-d. 1878) and Hannah Ann SAVILLE SAVITTS (b. 1824 or 1827 in Wayne Co. IN-d. 1909). Saville was one of 5 children born to this couple including, Margaret; Frank T.; Oliver B.; and Saville W. APPLETON all born between 1848 and 1867. Saville died 7 May 1914 in Sioux City, IA and is buried in the Floyd Cemetery in Sioux City, IA. Census records provide the following details: 1870 census of Sioux City, IA: A. R. APPLETON, age 50, a Mill Owner, born NJ Hannah APPLETON, age 45, Keeping House, born IN Maggie APPLETON, age 21, born IN Frank APPLETON, age 19, born IN Oliver APPLETON, age 17, born IN Seville APPLETON, age 3, born IA Maria SEVILLE, age 28, a School Teacher, born IN + 1 Domestic Servant 1880 census of Sioux City, IA: Hannah APPLETON, age 55, a widow, Keeping House, born IN, parents born DE/NJ Margaret APPLETON, dau, age 29, at Home, born IN, parents born NJ/IN Oliver APPLETON, son, age 27, a Brakeman, born IN, parents born NJ/IN Saville APPLETON, son, age 13, at School, born IA, parents born NJ/IN 1900 census of Salem, SD: - boarding in the home of Nellie BARNARD Saville APPLETON, age 32, born Jan 1868, born IA, parents born NY/IN, a Bank Cashier 1900 census of Omaha, NE: Lizzie APPLETON, age 40, born Aug 1859, widow after 12 years, 2 children/2 living, born IA, parents born Ireland, a Laundress Hannah APPLETON, dau, age 12, born Sept 1887, born IA, parents born IA, at School Frank APPLETON, son, age 10, born Mar 1890, born IA, parents born IA, at School Jane SMITH, sister, age 50, born Feb 1850, a widow after 30 years, 1 child/none living, born IL, parents born Ireland, a Laundress 1910 census of Omaha, NE: Lizzie APPLETON, age 50, a widow, 2 children/2 living, born IA, parents born Ireland Jane SMITH, sister, age 60, a widow, born IL, parents born Ireland Frank S.

If you are a member of this APPLETON Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Dick: Thanks for your reply. I am not sure if he took anything but family photos. However, being an itinerent photographer, I would imagine he took photos of anything that was of interest to him. His family worked on the railroad. Do you have some ideas?

Hello list. Looking for information about an itinerant photographer by the name of Joseph Newberry. We have most of the information about his family line. What we are looking for are his actual photographs which are likely spread far and wide in Nebraska. Anyone that has any of his photos in their collections we would appreciate hearing from. His name is Joseph A. Newberry, and he was born in 1875 in Mills County, Iowa. So his photos probably started turning up on the late 1890's. He was married to Charlotte Everetts in 1898. He died in Wayne, Nebraska. Also known to have lived in Antelope. He traveled around NE taking photos. A few have turned up here and there. If anyone knows the location of a larger body of his work, please get in touch with me privately. Also a cousin of his named John Marshall Newberry was a photographer in Scott Co. Missouri. If you have family photographs from his studio or know the location of a larger body of his work, please contact me. Sue

Hi All, I try to rescue family photos that have "run away into antique shops" and "just don't know how to get home." I have 6 photos, 1 funeral card and 1 postcard that belongs to the BAKER/ROGERS clan. These were found in Marion, Iowa however the other IOWA towns listed throughout the materials are: Garrison, Rolfe, Central City, Anamosa, Des Moines. Here are the names from the photos and cards: BAKER: Watson, Edith, Dora, R.W. , Fred, Alfred ROGERS: A Wonderful funeral card for Mrs. John ROGERS d. age 91y,8m,23d JUNE 17, 1905 A great photo taken by Skilling in Des Moines, IA with a hand written note on the back that says: for R.W. Baker with Grandmother Rogers kind love 1902 in memory of John Rogers born Sept 1st 1811 died Jan 29th 1895. I am asking only reimbursement for the original price of the photos and postage for the trip back home for these people. Jackie

I have copies of photos that are unknown to our family that probably were relatives or friends in the past. They were taken about 1880 - 1900. The are labelled on the back "Soukup Family" shows 7 children with parents. all girls except one boy. Smallest child on Mothers lap might be a boy but has a dress on. the other photos are: two pictues of one girl and it says Mary Soukup and the last one says Annie Soukup. They were taken by Foleys of Washington, Iowa, and J.L.Laurman, 311 Felix St.,St. Joseph, MO. Would like to find the family , Millie

I would like to find out when Theo F. ELLIS, photographer, was in business in New Sharon, Mahaska County, Iowa. I have a picture that I am trying to date in order to find out who the people in the picture are. His name is on the front of the picture along with the name of the town. I am thinking it would be late 1800's or 1900. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cindy
