    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Abby Louise BARNEY which was taken at the H. L. Bingham Studio in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1870's with Abby listed as 7 1/4 years old at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I've been able to gather the following information regarding this family: Abby Louise BARNEY b. 5 Jul 1865 in Schoolcraft, MI to parents Sullivan Rolla BARNEY and Mary Miranda Wetherbee ALLEN and died 3 Aug 1955.
