Posted on: Queries Only<br>Des Moines County Iowa Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ia/DesMoines/88 Surname: TRACY ------------------------- Recently at an antique shop, I purchased a three photographs of people in the Tracy family, whose pictures were all taken by "Monfort and Hill's New Art Gallery, Sweny's New Block, 27 & 29 Third St., Burlington (Des Moines Co.), Iowa". I enjoy buying lovely old pictures like these in antique shops and locating descendants/family members and re-uniting the pictures with people who will treasure them. The adult pictured is "Samuel K. Tracy - 1867", and shows a dark haired man with a moustache who is about 25-30 age range. That picture is 4" x 2-1/2". The pictures of children are: One showing "Antoniette J. Tracy - aged 9 months" and this was taken about 1878-1880. This shows a cute little girl by herself and is also 4" x 2-1/2". The other is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and is of three children: Florence V. Tracy, Antoniette J. Tracy and Hayden K. Tracy - and this was "taken May 1881". The boy is about 8, and the girls about 3 and 6. The pictures are all in excellent condition, considering their ages. There is a strong resemblance between Mr. Tracy and the children, and this surely could be their father. If this is your family, please do NOT post here, but Email me directly and I will send you my mailing address and details.
