If you can't find a relative to inherit the album, consider donating it to the Douglas County Historical Society, or the W. Dale Clark Library for their historic photograph collection. That way, if family shows up at sometime in the future, they can at least see the pictures. Karen

The album was already claimed by a family member.

I’ve “rescued” an old photograph album which appears to have belonged to the BLACKMAN and MAYHEW Families of Iowa.  The album contains a number of photographs, many identified.  With very limited research I was able to find quite a bit of information regarding the people in the photographs, so I’m hoping that others are connected to these families as well. The photographs are as follows: BLACKMAN & MAYHEW Family Photograph Album • Ralph BLACKMAN, Maxwell Studio in Mt. Ayr, IA, 1880’s or 1890’s, 3-4 years old • Unidentified Boy, Gray Studio in Omaha, 1880’s, 3-4 years old • Fay VANWINKLE, J. A. McClanahan Studio in Clearfield, IA, 1890’s, 4-5 years old • Edd MAYHEW, Reynolds Studio in Washington, IA, 1900’s, 30’s • Chas P. BLACKMAN, Gray Photo Studio in Omaha, 1880’s, teens • Unidentified Male, Armstrong Studio in Washington, IA, 1880’s, 50’s • Floyd JACKSON, J. A. McClanahan in Clearfield, IA, 1890’s, infant • Mr. Alex JENKINS, A. B. Post & Co. Studio in Ottumwa, IA, 1880’s or 1890’s, 60’s • William Calvin “Calvary” MAYHEW II & Hattie MAYHEW with children, Will, Harly, Etta (Harry KLEEVE), Frank, Roy, and Cora (DRAPER) MAYHEW, Armstrong Studio in Washington, IA, 1870’s or 1880’s, parents 40’s or 50’s, children 6-20’s • Frank A. MAYHEW, Reynolds Studio in Washington, IA, 1890’s, 20’s or 30’s, note “to Aunt Malissa BLACKMAN, Chillicothe, Iowa” • William Calvin “Will” MAYHEW III & Nettie MAYHEW with Helen, Cole Studio in Washington, IA, 1890’s, parents 20’s, with toddler • Grace & Perry BENDER, O. H. Park Studio in Clarinda, IA, 1880’s, couple in teens or 20’s • Caleb & Christa CONWELL of De Beque, CO, Woollett Studio in Ottumwa, IA, 1890’s, couple in 40’s • Stella STUBER, Elite Studio in Oskaloosa, IA, 1890’s, teens • Empty slot – Chas & Phoeba STUBER with Ed & Stella • Empty slot – Reva & May BENDER • Fay VANWINKLE, M. G. Maxwell Studio in Mt Ayr, IA, 1890’s, about 7 years • Empty slot – Lyman BLACKMAN • Empty slot – Aurilla GIBBS MAYHEW, married William Calvin MAYHEW I • Geo Washington BLACKMAN, Post Studio in Ottumwa, IA, 1870’s or 1880’s, 50’s • Empty slot – “Elma” • Unidentified Female, tin type with no studio or loc, 1870’s, girl 6-8 years • Empty Slot – Sarah DICKSON • Joe DICKSON, tin type with no studio or loc, 1870’s, 30’s or 40’s I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to its rightful place with family.  If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Thanks for this information! My brother-in-law, a Kucera, will really be interested in this. His people were from Iowa and some went into NE. >> The Fraternal Herald was a publication put out by the Western Fraternal >> Life association, an insurance organization consisting of membership >> under charters of Czech Lodges situated in cities throughout the US.<<

The Fraternal Herald was a publication put out by the Western Fraternal Life association, an insurance organization consisting of membership under charters of Czech Lodges situated in cities throughout the US. The Lodges were organized for the people of Czech ancestry in order for them to have some sort of life insurance. It initially only included men, but after only a year or so, the insurance program included women as well. In later years, it also included the children. It was organized under the title of ZAPADNI CHESKA BRATRSKY JEDNOTA (ZCBJ) when translated is Western Bohemian Fraternal Association. In later years, the title became Western Fraternal Life Association and although it originally allowed only people of Czech Ancestry, it today is open to anyone wishing to buy their insurance. It was organized 4 Jul 1897, and is still in existence with headquarters in Cedar Rapids, IA It printed a monthly periodical originally printed in Czech, until the 1940s when it began to include English, gradually switching to all English. Each month in the periodical, they printed a mortality death claim list, as well as some obituaries or death notices. This is the basis of this microfilmed card file index which is now on 6 reels of microfilm and located at the W. Dale Clark Library 3rd floor. If you are interested in looking at the lists, you will find the films in the metal filing cabinets at the back left of the book room. You will have to take the reel(s) you are interested in to the microfilm room for reading. A reader printer is available for copies. The cards have places for the following information (which may not all be filled out on all cards): Name, age, date & place of death, Lodge # & year they became a member, date of death claim & date of obit notice. The date of death & date of claim may be a year or more apart. There were member groups in NE, MN, IA, WI, KS, ND, CO, etc. We invite you to visit the W. Dale Clark Library if you are interested in the information on these films. Feel free to share the availability of these microfilms with others that may be interested because of Czech ancestry. If you can't make it to Omaha, contact me off list for a list of other options to check the information. Hope this information turns out to be a good Christmas present for you. Karen

Many of them aren't much more than a mention in the gossip columns of somebody dying (that's why some are "child of" only. Too many just give the initials of the deceased, or of the deceased's spouse...but hey, if you recognize them, you recognize them. I really hate to say it, but I think there are more notices for people in Iowa than there were for Omaha--and it is an Omaha paper. If a town is in parenthesis (usually the gossip column, it indicates that it is from news from that town, and it doesn't say exactly where the person was buried. Karen
