I've "rescued" two old photographs which both belong to the WHITMORE Family of New York. The first is a photograph of Charles WHITMORE who lived in Coxsackie, NY. The photograph was taken at the McDonnald & Sterry Studio in Albany, NY, likely sometime in the 1880's. In addition to his name and place of residence someone has also written "killed on RR" on the back of the photograph. The second photograph is identified as Marion Francis WHITMORE. This photograph was likely taken in the early 1900's with the baby noted as 6 months old at the time the photograph was taken. The photograph was taken at the Peck Studio in Newburgh, NY. In addition to his name and age, someone has also written "For Grandma" and "wearing Papa's baby dress, W. A. WALTER" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to locate information regarding a possible match for one of the photographs, Charles Hoyt WHITMORE b. 18 Nov 1849 at Coxsackie, NY to parents William WHITMORE and Hester Jane HOYT. I'm hoping to locate someone from this WHITMORE Family so that these wonderful old photographs can be returned to their rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
