I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Margaret STONEHOCKER BILLINGSLEY which was taken at the McAdam Bros. Studio in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Margaret likely in her 20's at the time it was taken. In addition to her name someone appears to have also written a name (PICKERING) and address (Box 456 ? 98065) on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research and thanks to the assistance of some family researchers I know the following regarding Margaret and her husband: Margaret STONEHOCKER b. 22 Nov 1851 in Harrison, OH to parents John STONEHOCKER (b. 24 Oct 1814 in Jefferson Co., OH) and Mary PEW (b. 1816 in OH). She married Andrew Magee BILLINGSLEY (b. 27 May 1851 in Harrison Co., OH to parents Samuel Kirke BILLINGSLEY and Rebecca Fessler KNIGHT) on 28 Mar 1880 in Salem, IA. There is some indication that they may have had a child, Clyde BILLINGSLEY b. in the 1880's which died at birth or a very young age. Her husband Andrew died 21 Mar 1913 in Texico, NM and in 1920 Margaret was a widow living with her nephew, Harlan M. LAMM in Carleton, NE. Margaret died 11 Nov 1922. She can be traced through census records as follows: 1870 census of Salem Township, IA: John STONEHOCKER, age 56, a Farmer, born OH Mary STONEHOCKER, age 54, Keeping House, born OH Joseph STONEHOCKER, age 23, Farming, born OH Martin STONEHOCKER, age 21, Works on Farm, born OH Margaret STONEHOCKER, age 18, born OH John P.
