I'm 10-25 years younger than my 1st cousins, which would make me the dumbist of my generation at identifying pictures,if my own parents hadn't lived so long. 15 years ago,I found on the back of a photo in my wife's great grandfather's albumn,a picture imprinted with a small town where the 4 states unite in sw COLORADO. The past couple of years,I have known great grandfather's sister went there for TB, and hers started a photography studio still open,and her 95 year old son alive. One thing for sure-as long as those pictures are in a drawer, nobody's going to identify them, but scanned, and "attached" to Emails to older relatives, there is a chance they will. Start with a picture of the 8 siblings in 1903, or the 4 siblings in 1945, or the twINS,etc. Our family has ties to Pres Grant's kinsmen, so we see Galena,Ill on the backs of some. My favorite has always been a tintype [?] of "Little Steve" ,the black todler Capt Will Ely's company found tied in a gunny sack hanging from a tree-left by retreating Rebel forces. "Little Steve" became the mascot of Capt Will Ely's company. Ely brought him home to his married brother,and Steve's trunk is likely still in my attic. Anyway, Little Steve had a growth in his neck-goiter,or injury from the hanging?. He died after a few years in Ohio. I found a lot of old envelopes my grandmother saved.Letters gone,but stamps ,or cork cancels attached. Some to tiny general store post offices. And I preserved them,except I lost the best one. One postmarked Augusta,Ga, addressed to Stephen Galbraith, care of Capt Will Ely,Bantam,Ohio. Little Steve's picture can be identified in the albumn as the only black boy with a big goiter. I got a copy this week of a 1901 era Fagley reunion here at Bethel,with the people identified. 1 blonde looked very familar. Belle Ely Fagaly. My team mate on many sport teams, Larry Murray's mother has very dark hair, but otherwise she looks like her aunt Belle Ely Fagaly. .
