    1. [MNHennep] HARRINGTON Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Curtis, Philo, and Ralph HARRINGTON which was taken at the McElroy Studio in Hayward, Wisconsin. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with the three boys ranging in age from about 7-13 years of age. Based on limited research I believe that the boys are the children of George & Effa HARRINGTON and grandchildren of Philo & Susan HARRINGTON who were all recorded living in Star Prairie, WI during the 1880 census as follows: Philo HARRINGTON, age 69, born NY, a Farmer Susan HARRINGTON, wife, age 65, born MA, House Keeper, parents born MA George HARRINGTON, son, age 38, born VT, a Lumberman Effa HARRINGTON, dau-in-law, age 22, born WI, a House Keeper, parents born NH/NY Curtis HARRINGTON, grandson, age 4, born WI Philo HARRINGTON, grandson, age 2, born WI John BROOKS, other, age 27, born WI, Laborer, parents born England Edwin MORAN, other, age 13, born NY, Laborer, father born VT Elija CONLIN, other age 19, born MA, Laborer, parents born Ireland In 1900 the family is in Hayward, WI with census records providing the following: George HARRINGTON, age 57, born June 1842, married 24 years, born VT, parents born NY/MA, a Justice of the Peace Effie HARRINGTON, wife, age 42, born Aug 1857, married 24 years, 3 children/3 living, born WI, parents born NH/NY, the Superintendent of Schools Philo G.
