I've "rescued" an old photograph of Marie OBRIEN which was taken at the Barton Studio in Alexandria, South Dakota. The photograph is dated 1900 with Marie just an infant at the time it was taken. In addition to her name, someone has also written "daughter of Mr. & Mrs. OBRIEN" and "Mrs. O B was formerly Miss Maud WEST" and "To Miss Mary MCMILLAN, now Mrs. M. E. C. BURROUGHS". Based on limited research and thanks to the assistance of an O'BRIEN Family Researcher we've gathered the following information regarding Marie and her family: Marie Dolores O'BRIEN born 21 Nov 1899 in Alexandria, SD to parents Henry Edward O'BRIEN (b. MN) and Maud WEST (b. MN). Marie had three siblings, Francis Edward b. 1901; Irene b. 1908; and Leona b. 1916, all in Hanson Co. SD. The family later moved to Kimball, SD. Brother Francis married Evelyn LEWIS, Irene married Arthur GASPAR in 1936 in Mitchell, SD, and Leona married J. P. HASSLINGER in 1937 in Mitchell, SD. Marie married John Bernard PLUT on 25 May 1926 in Kimball, SD and died in Everett, WA on 28 Nov 1991. Census records provide the following: 1900 census of Wayne Township, SD: Edward OBRIEN, age 30, born Oct 1869, married 1 year, born MN, parents born Ireland, a Livery Man Maud OBRIEN, wife, age 25, born Oct 1874, married 1 year, 1 child/1 living, born MI, parents born NY Marie OBRIEN, dau, age 6 months, born Nov 1899, born SD + 2 servants I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this precious old treasure can be returned to the care of this family. If you are a member of the family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
