    1. [WashDC] SPENCER Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Amanda and Cora SPENCER which was taken at a studio in Delavan, Wisconsin. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with the oldest woman in the photograph likely in her 60's and the younger woman in her 30's. Based on limited research I believe I've been able to locate this family through census records as follows: 1900 census of Delavan, WI: Amanda C. SPENCER, age 55, born Dec 1844, a widow, 1 child/1 living, born WI, parents born NY Cora L. SPENCER, dau, age 19, born Oct 1880, born IL, parents born NY/WI, at School Harriet A. UTTER, Mother, age 77, a widow, born Mar 1823, 3 children/2 living, born NY, parents born NY 1910 census of Delavan, WI: Amanda SPENCER, age 65, a widow, 1 child/1 living, born WI, parents born NY, Own Income Cora SPENCER, dau, age 29, born IL, parents born NY/WI 1920 census of Washington DC: (living in the house of Albert S. & Irma J. PROSE) Amanda C. SPENCER, lodger, age 75, a widow, born WI, parents born NY Cora SPENCER, lodger, age 39, born IL, parents born WI, a Social Service Worker I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
