    1. [NHROCKIN] CLARKE Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph identified only as "CLARKE" which was taken at the Jones Studio in Providence, Rhode Island. The photograph is of a young man who appears to be in his 20's at the time the photograph was taken, likely in the 1870's. The photograph was recovered along with others belonging to the Brown University Class of 1878 including both students and faculty. With that knowledge I was able to locate information regarding Willis Gaylord CLARKE who was from the Class of 1878 at Brown, so I'm guessing this is a photograph of Willis. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Willis and his family: Willis Gaylord CLARKE was b. 28 May 1856 in Detroit, MI to parents John Currier CLARKE (b. 3 Mar 1822 in Chester (now Auburn), NH) and Cassandra Perkins EDSON. He practiced law in Michigan and was likely unmarried. I am hoping to locate someone from this CLARKE Family so that the photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
