It greatly saddens me to see so many "old" photos being sold at flea-markets, antique stores and on auctions... its almost saying the life of these people didn't matter. Although I can understand why some are there, as no name is given as to whom they are (maybe we can ALL learn from this!)... but a few do have names. its those few with names that I have decided to try and "rescue", and try to find the families they belong to. As I gather these, I will post the names online, and you can have them for the price I paid plus postage.. deal? first on the list is: 1. Clifford CHAMBERS. 10 years old, taken by Clendenon & Nichols, Jacksonville, IL. regular photograph, abt 2.5"x3". young boy circa late 1800s or early 1900s. 2. Ellen HOBBS. tin-type photo in embellished card stock holder. no photographer listed. written in pencil on back is "Aunt Ellen Hobbs". photo size is abt 1.5" x 2", holder is maybe 2x3". 3. Evalyn HARMON. tin-type photo in card stock holder. no photographer listed. photo is abt 1.5" square, holder abt 2x3". if any of these people belong to you and you want the picture, please contact me privately. I only have one of each so first come, first claimed.

Speaking of old photos and mementos. Does everyone know that you can go to www.ebay.com and search for things like "Murphysboro" and "Carbondale" (actually any town name) and also "Jackson Co., IL" and they will list the documents for sale on their website. There are currently over 20 things listed for Murphysboro and many more listed under the Jackson County search request. They include pictures, publications, etc. Just thought I would let everyone know.
