    1. [PADELAWA] BUCKWALTER - BRADFORD Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Bertha BUCKWALTER which was taken at the Pannebecker Photo Studio in Columbia, Pennsylvania. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Bertha likely in her teens at the time it was taken. In addition to her name, someone has also written "afterwards Mrs. Wilmer BRADFORD" on the back of the photograph suggesting that she married Wilmer BRADFORD. Based on limited research I was able to locate the family in census records as follows: 1880 census of Upper Leacock, PA: Abraham BUCKWALTER, age 59, born PA, a Farmer, parents born PA Eliza BUCKWALTER, wife, age 34, born PA, Keeping House, parents born PA Elem BUCKWALTER, son, age 7, born PA Bertha BUCKWALTER, dau, age 3, born PA Abraham BUCKWALTER, son, age 1, born PA Reuben BUCKWALTER, son, age 8 months, born PA 1910 census of Chester, PA: Wilmer BRADFORD, age 35, married 1 year, born PA, parents born PA, a Steel Foundry Carpenter Bertha B. BRADFORD, wife, age 34, married 1 year, 1 child/none living, born PA, parents born PA I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
