I've "rescued" and old photograph of Maude Louise STRAYER which was taken at the Nast Studio in Denver, CO. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Maude listed as 3 months old and weighing 13 lbs. at the time. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Maude and her family: Maude Louise STRAYER was b. 30 Oct 1894 in Denver, CO to parents Mary A. S. HALLER (b. Jan 1858 in Fayette Co. IL) and John Wesley STRAYER (b. 9 Jan 1846 in Berkeley Co. VA). Maude also had a brother, James C. STRAYER b. 23 Jan 1901 in New York City, NY. This was the third marriage for John Wesley STRAYER, his first wife was Margaret B. HILL with whom he had two children including, George Elmer; and Olive L. STRAYER born in 1872 and 1875, both in Carroll Co., MO. His second marriage was to Anna R. "Annie" BLISS with whom he had a son Edgar C. STRAYER b. 1885 in Missouri. Maude died in Anacortes, WA in Nov 1981. Maude traveled extensively including trips to England, France, Scotland, and Norway with her job as an Educator at the Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, NY.
