    1. [Montague County] FOUND: OLD CLASS PHOTO FROM BOWIE
    2. Dear List, I recently purchased an old class photograph (size 8 X 10) on a cardboard backing. It is a "Class picture of Lizzie Young" from Bowie, Montague Co. TX. There are 9 young people in the photograph: 3 girls, all in long white dresses, and 6 boys, all in suits. I believe this photograph was probably taken in the 1890's or very early 1900s. However, that is just my guess. I would imagine that "Lizzie" is in reality, Elizabeth Young. The picture is in excellent condition: no damage at all. The cardboard backing is somewhat discolored. It appears to have been cut to fit in a frame. The frame was not there when I bought the photograph. It is a wonderful old photograph. As a history and genealogy person, it has long bothered me to see these wonderful old photographs fade away in the sun. I pick and choose among those I see at flea markets, antique malls, etc to find those that have some identification. My hope is to return these photographs to their families. If you think Lizzie Young may be your family, or have any interest in this photograph, please contact me privately. Sincerely, Judy
