My name is Rick Whisman and I’m
a local historian in the Huntington, WV area. Recently,
I purchased 3 photographs from the 1800s taken in
Portsmouth, Ohio. As these photographs appear to be
people of possible local (i.e., Portsmouth, Ohio area)
notoriety (e.g., politicians, etc.), I was hoping
that you might be able to identify them for me. Anyway,
any help you could provide me with the identification
and possible biographical information on these individuals
would greatly be appreciated. Also any information
on the photographer would additionally be appreciated.
I would like to thank you in advance for your help
regarding this matter/request. I look forwards to
your response. Again, thank you for your help.

I recently received about 100 pictures that were my
grandmother's. Only about 8 were identified. The two
pictures are probably from the Chick or Maddy family.
I believe the two men with beards are the same person.
If anyone can help I would be grateful. Kathleen Bennett

I am descended from Robert Keppler Burns
born in Columbus/Bexley, OH, son of my Grandfather
Andrew William Burns born in Lucasville to Great Grandfather
Michael Burns (born Byrne in County Laois, Ireland)
and Great Grandmother Mary (Crowe) Burns. I came across
several old matted photographs with the attached one
done by Lutz's Studio and bearing on its back the
reference "Mike Burns?" and "Second
Street" pertaining either to my Great Grandfather
Michael Burns or to his son my Great Uncle Michael
Burns. I have a photograph of my Grandfather Andrew
Burns' brother John A. Burns and wife also taken at
Lutz's Studio bearing on its back the reference "88
West Second St."
The attached photograph taken at Lutz's
Studio has the same background as the photograph at
your website described as follows:
Unidentified male taken at "Lutz"
studio in Portsmouth, Ohio.
Date unknown.
I have an old photograph of a young
woman who I believe to be a sister of my Grandfather
Andrew Burns bearing on its back L.Kiefer Artistic
Photographer, and an old photograph of another young
woman who I believe to be another sister of my Grandfather
Andrew Burns bearing on its back H.B. Hull Paragon
Art Gallery; both photographers/galleries were of
Portsmouth.
I have a number of photographs, e.g.,
one of a baby who I believe to be a brother of my
Grandfather Andrew Burns showing on its front stock
B.G. Harris, one of a young woman showing on its front
stock Harris Art Gallery, another believed to include
a niece of my Great Grandfather Michael Burns showing
on its front stock B.G. Harris of Portsmouth.
I have a photograph who I suspect to
be of my Great Great Grandmother Mary (O'Laughlin)
Crowe as a young woman showing on its front stock
Gillett of Portsmouth, another of my Great Grandmother
Burns as a young woman, a young man either her brother
or husband (my Great Grandfather Michael Burns), and
presumably my Great Great Grandparents Andrew Crowe
and Mary (O'Laughlin) Crowe showing on its front stock
Gillett of Portsmouth, and a photograph of an elderly
woman believed to be my Great Great Grandmother Mary
(O'Laughlin) Crowe (but maybe one of my great aunts)
who lived well into her 100s (1807-1911).
My grandfather and his siblings were
born as follows: John A. Burns in 1870, Mary (Burns)
Williams in 1872, Michael Burns in 1876, Elizabeth
"Lida" (Burns) Martin in 1879, Andrew Burns
in 1882, Margaret (Burns) Moulton in 1884, and Charles
Burns in 1887. My Great Grandmother Mary (Crowe) Burns
was born in 1844. My Great Grandfather Michael (Byrne)
Burns was born in 1843.
I would greatly appreciate any knowledge
any of you folks have about the years the galleries/photographers
above were in operation. I suffering through the process
of posting photographs to my website and when completed
I'll send you the links. I have quite a few Lucasville-area
photographs.
Please Contact Robert Burns with any
information at RobertBurns@OBLaw.com

The picture on the left is the same as the one below.
I can't tell if this is Will b. 1865, maybe his brother,
James Thompson Crain b. 1868, or someone else altogether.
The one on the right is William Edward Crain and wife,
Elizabeth VanSkiver with their children Elsie M. b. 1889
and Clarence Albert b. 1890, both in Indiana.
Will was born in Portsmouth, Ohio and James was born in
Missouri, I think their father died in MO, prior to 1870.
Will and James lived with Henry and Ann Wiley Paden in
Portsmouth until after 1880 when they came to IN. James
died 1888 unmarried.

This is a photo of my great-grandfather, William Edward
Crain, b. 1865, Portsmouth, Ohio, to A. J. or J. A. and
Mary Ann Paden Crain. It is a copy of a tin-type.
I have been trying to find my Crain relatives for over
40 years to no avail. Also would like to know what happened
to siblings of Mary Ann Paden.
Her parents were Henry and Ann Wiley Paden. Sibs; William,
Maggie, John, Sarah and Ellie of Portsmouth, Ohio, later
Green Twp. I can find no records of these people except
census with Henry and Ann.

Unidentified male taken at Central Gallery in Hamilton,
Ohio. I thought this might be a Crain because he looks
a lot like a Crain cousin of mine. This photo and the
photo Unidentified male taken at "Lutz" studio
were on facing pages of my g-grandmother Crain's album.

This is one of my favorite photos. We have no idea who
he is. The filigree around the picture is gold and the
picture has been cut out and glued into the oval.
Possibilities are Crain or Paden who were from Portsmouth,
Ohio or VanSkiver or Parker who were from Preble and Butler
Counties.
Some of the families stayed and some went to Indiana,
in the 1870's.

Family of William T. and Christina
Miller Mackey
"This family photo was taken in Portsmouth in
early January 1950 after the funeral of my grandmother,
Chrisina Miller Mackey. I have long wondered about the
location and names of the buildings in the background.
Is anyone able to identify the buildings for me?"

might be the Old Methodist Church in West Portsmouth.
The third from the right is Abraham Doll, and I think
the second from the right is his brother, my great-great-grandfather,
Peter G. Doll." If you know any of the people in
this photo, please email Richard Doll at Dollrl@aol.com |
"Mrs. Rosemary Crabtree recognized the photo
(above), posted in the last edition of SCCOGS
News. She said it was taken at the Bethany Baptist Church
in Rushtown - which is still standing.
It is a photo of the members of the Robinson Post GAR.
She said she knew that Abraham Doll was in that Post but
had info that Peter was in the Bailey Post at Portsmouth,
but he could have transferred maybe."

These two unidentified pictures belonged to my Great-grandfather
Edwin Godwin Turner (1872-1952), who lived most of his
life in Scioto Co., OH. Edwin G. Turner was the son of
Martin Slocum Turner and Emaline (Rose) Turner. His grandparents
were Joseph and Aurilla (Slocum) Turner AND Simon S. and
Mary (Griffith) Rose. All of these lived in Scioto Co.,
OH. It is believed that these pictures might be of Edwin
G. Turner's grandparents. Any information on these pictures
would be greatly appreciated.

has been identified as Miss Rawley's 6th grade class.
I am guessing that the class is in the Valley School district
in the 1930s. If anyone can give a clue, I would appreciate
hearing from them.

Picture submitted by: David
Cayton, who writes:

"The
photo was found in my father's trunk after his passing.
His family has a direct connection to Scioto county
with my gggrandfather, ggrandfather, and grandfather
being from the area. I'm told that Thomas Katon,
my gggrandfather, is listed as the county's first blacksmith.
The Katon name has been spelled Caton, Keton, and finally
Cayton.....there may even be some other spellings that
I haven't run across yet.
The
photo has an embossed matt with the name Harris'
Art Gallery, Portsmouth. If I could find
the time that the Harris Art Gallery/Photo Studio was
in operation, I might be able to narrow the time frame,
but I haven't been able to find the right Portsmouth
records yet. The type of clothing design may also
help. The apparel seems to be before the 1900's
and suggests even Victorian collars, etc.---possibly
1880-90's. I have both aunts and uncles from that
time frame so I can't narrow the search from that standpoint.
If anyone recognizes either of these faces from this
or other photos, I would appreciate a name.......my
source for such information is gone.
I
would be willing to share digital copies or computer
printed images with anyone interested. I can be
contacted by snail mail at David Cayton, 24477 Dixie
Highway, Perrysburg, Ohio, 43551 or e-mail at

my husband's cousin passed away, two old photo albums

It was not labeled. This is a beautiful family picture

The
cousin's name was Roberta Wrightsel and her parent's
were Ralph Victor Wrightsel and Hazel Dell Huffman.
This picture could be on either the Huffman or Wrightsel
