Some years ago in the Jerseyville McDonald's there was a large photo frame which contained the individual photos of the old/early settlers (men only). It was something like a high school class composite which most high schools hang on the walls of the past graduating classes - individual photos with name below photo. In this particular case I don't remember if each photo was numbered with a special box with the identification by numbers or each photo identified under the photo. One of the photos was that of Jonas Bradshaw, my 3rd gr-grandfather. If I recall correctly he was in the bottom row about 2 or 3 from the lower right corner. I've been told that this photo group was taken to the historical society. If anyone has a digital camera I was hoping that perhaps they could take a photo of Jonas Bradshaw and send it to me email. I will gladly reimburse for any expenses. Thank you in advance. Debbi Geer __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!

Debbi, Did anyone ever respond to your request for a digital photo of Jonas Bradshaw from the large photo of early settlers? I think I saw it at JCHS a number of years ago. This illustration, titled "Pioneers Who Settled in Jersey County Prior to 1840," was published in the "Standard Atlas of Jersey County, Illinois Including a Plat Book of the Villages, Cities and Townships of the County," Chicago: Geo. A. Ogle & Co, 1916, p. 69. I have an enlarged photocopy of this page from the 1916 Atlas. I believe this Atlas is available at the Jerseyville Public Library. Perhaps they would make a photocopy for you if no one has offered to take a digital photo? Jonas Bradshaw is No. 105. There are 152 photos.

Debbie--As Board member, I will see that you get a picture of the grandfather in question. It may take me a couple of weeks but just give me time and I will get you a picture.
