    1. [KSMCPHER] COONS Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Myrtle COONS on Canton, Kansas. There is no studio or studio location identified on the photograph, however, it is dated 1 Jan 1900. Myrtle appears to be in her 20's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following possible match: Myrtle COONS was b. Mar 1877 in KS to parents Henry Newton COONS (b. Sept 1847 in IN) and Fannie Jane HILLIS (b. Dec 1847 in IN). Census records provide the following: 1880 census of Canton, KS: Henry N. COONS, age 30, born IN, a Farmer Jane F. COONS, wife, age 30, born IN, Keeping House, parents born IN Martha R. COONS, dau, age 12, born IN, at Home James S. COONS, son. Age 6, born KS Myrtle COONS, dau, age 4, born KS Elisabeth E. COONS, dau, age 2, born KS John W. COONS, son, age 2 months, born KS + 1 Farm Laborer 1900 census of Canton Town, KS: Newt H. COONS, age 52, born Sept 1847, married 27 years, born IN, parents born WV, a Farmer Jane F. COONS, wife, age 52, born Dec 1847, married 27 years, 5 children/4 living, born IN, parents born OH James S. COONS, son, age 25, born Mar 1875, born KS, a Barber Myrtle P. COONS, dau, age 22, born Mar 1877, born KS, a School Teacher Walter J. COONS, son, age 19, born Apr 1880, born KS, a Farmer I am hoping to locate someone from this COONS Family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to its rightful place, with family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
