Hello, I recently came into possession of three old photographs taken by Charles Murr, 39 Jefferson Street, Joliet, Illinois. These photograph could have been taken anytime between 1880-1900 or so (just a guess on my part). The photographs name three young women, probably sisters. They are Mary, Julia and Andusta RODGER. Having spent many an hour tracing my own family tree, I know what a thrill it would be to find old photographs of my ancestors. I would like to find any descendants and forward these items to them. These photographs came out of an old family album but only a few have names written on the back. There are quite a few photographs from Joliet, IL as well as several towns in Kansas, Sterling and Nickerson having the most. There is a scattering of photographs from several other states as well as Germany. Besides RODGER, there are items with the following surnames: HOWARD [Frank], LOUGEE, SCHOENTGEN, GEISER, ROWE, CUBBINSON. KLUSMAN and REESON [Jos.] One photograph has a name written which may be [Alex] PEARSON, dated 1887. Please let me know if you think you have a connection. Diane
