Ray and Fred<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThese days all the boys would be having a fit, wanting to know why their mother dressed them up in a girls dress. But this happened a great deal in the older photos and at times it is very hard to know it they were boys or girls.<\/p>\n
And this cabinet card that has been cut to fit in a frame so there is no way of knowing where it was taken or by what photographer. So the only thing available to go on, is the writing on the back which suggest they are both boys. It reads “Ray at 5 months old and Fred at 22 months old.”<\/p>\n

Here is another cabinet card from what looks like M H Mahan and the studio was in Pawnee City, Nebraska. I did not get a search result on his studio so it seems this could be something that needs some work as well.\u00a0 We know it was taken there and the names on the back read, ” George Busboom and Maggie Tinderlake, married on August 4th of 1886.”<\/p>\n
Gearhard<\/strong><\/p>\nPeter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis cabinet card taken by the L. Gamer Studio in Omaha, Nebraska even has the address of the company on it. It was located at the corner of 16th and Vinton Streets. On the back all that is written is Peter Gearhard. This surname has changed over the years and has many variations online, so this may be wrong. But it is what is written on the back with no question.<\/p>\n

Busboom<\/strong><\/p>\nBehrend Heinrich Busboom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWow, someone did good and wrote a lot on the back of this one. Mr. Behrend Heinrich Busboom was born on January 28th in 1917 in Filsum, Ostfriesland, Germany. His photo on this cabinet card was taken at Waltermire’s Fine Art Studio of 938 P Street Lincoln, Nebraska.<\/p>\n

Aunt<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At first I thought the name started with a T or F, now I don’t know. It could even be an H. Someone will recognize her and things will all fall into place I’m sure. Maybe is is Aunt Florence?<\/p>\n
Marks \/ Lindley<\/strong><\/p>\nThis photo has J. N. (Noble) and B W. (Thallie ?) Lindley. If you look above you see Noble in a photo and another man. He seems to be the one on the left in both pictures.\u00a0 The other two have different names on each of the photos and they look the same to me. This is the same house, but they were taken at different times. Noble looks younger in this photo, but that is just a guess.<\/p>\nMarks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

They look so young. The young boy is Samuel Preston Butler standing with them. My guess would be that he is around a year old or maybe a little older.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Squyres<\/strong><\/p>\nSquyres<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nI put Squyres on this because the same person wrote the names. They made the letters the same way, and with the same pen but it is really unreadable on the last name. His first name is Bill and the middle name looks like Samuel. The back looks like it has been wet at some point and causes some trouble when making out the letters.<\/p>\n
Felix Hughes<\/strong><\/p>\nThis is a large glass framed set of photos of this baby. It also has a name plate shown inset in the bottom of the frame. It reads “Felix Kimball Hughes, born August 24, 1907.”<\/p>\nHughes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n
This photo has Delmar, Hazel and Raymond wrote across the top and the date of 1938 and Oklahoma City Oklahoma on bottom.<\/p>\nDelmar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

This is Eard Upshaw’s mother<\/p>\n
This is from one of the rescued photo albums and was found at one of the antique stores around Lubbock, Texas.\u00a0 One couple is Nora and Delmer Upshaw in the album. I believe her name is Birdie, or at least maybe that is a nickname. But, that is what seems to be used the most everywhere. She was born in Oklahoma in about 1920 and had several children. Her husband was W H Upshaw and you can find more on the Upshaw family in some of the other stories.<\/p>\n

This one is a cabinet card and all is says is Lillie A. This could be someone in the photo or someone that the photo was sent to.<\/p>\n
Evilyn<\/strong><\/p>\nThis one has “Taken at Mrs Zurline’s by Helen Zurline on May 2, 1934 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma” written on the back of a large one. There is also a smaller one as well.<\/p>\nEvilyn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n

Wow, I thought this one on Reuben would be a easy on to look up! Nope. Not at all, so many with this name and I automatically think it is a girl and just about every search brought it up as a mans name. This one could be some real work to connect to someone unless there are other photos somewhere with the same person in them for a comparison.<\/p>\n

Happy hunting and remember the spelling and names could be different. The grandmother or aunt that wrote on the back could have got it a little wrong. Things like that just happen! So always take everything with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n
