    1. [KSNEMAHA] WILCOX Family Photographs
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the WILCOX Family or Oregon State. The first is a photograph of Ruby WILCOX which was taken at the Snyder's Studio in Lebanon, OR. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Ruby just an infant at the time the photograph was taken. The second photograph is one of Orlo & Bertha WILCOX and was taken at the Gardner Studio in Corvallis, OR. This second photograph was likely taken in the early 1900's as well with the couple appearing to be in their teens or 20's at the time. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding the family: Orlo K. WILCOX was b. 16 Jun 1881 in Corning, KS to parents Oliver Kent WILCOX (b. 6 Aug 1847 in MI) and Sarah Jane PURVIS (b. 13 Jan 1840 in Sullivan, IL). Orlo was one of four children born to this couple including, Francis Everett; Arthur Lemon; Oliver Wesley; and Orlo K. WILCOX all born in KS between 1875 and 1881 in Wyandotte, Reno and Nemaha Counties, KS. Orlo married Bertha Emily WILSON (b. 22 Oct 1886 in Washington, KS) on 16 Jun 1909 or 14 Jul 1909 in Linn County, OR and together they had 7 children including Helen Lucille; Donald W.; and Mary Faye WILCOX born between 1910 and 1916 in Oregon and Idaho. Orlo died 16 Jun 1970 in Granada Hills, CA and Bertha in Jan 1987 in Burbank, CA. Census records provide the following information: 1910 census of Corvallis, OR: Orlow K. WILCOX, age 28, newly married, born KS, parents born NY, a Cement Laborer Bertha E. WILCOX, wife, age 23, newly married, no children, born KS, parents born NY/KS Arthur J. WILSON, brother-in-law, age 21, born KS, parents born NY/KS 1920 census of North Lebanon, OR: H. G. WILSON, age 69, born NY, parents born NY Mary E. WILSON, wife, age 67, born KS, parents born ME/NH Ward WILSON, son, age 24, born KS, an Orchard Horticulturist Bertha WILCOX, dau, age 33, born KS Helen WILCOX, granddau, age 9, born OR, parents born KS Donald WILCOX, grandson, age 5, born ID, parents born KS Fay WILCOX, granddau, age 3 years + 9 months, born ID, parents born KS Margaret WILCOX, granddau, age 2 years + 10 months, born ID, parents born KS I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photographs can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
