I’ve “rescued” an old photograph
identified as Edith Elizabeth SMITHIES which was taken at the F. W. M. Havee
Studio in Stamford, CT. The photograph
is dated “Xmas 1887” with Edith appearing to be in her teens at the time it was
taken. I was able to find Edith in
census records as follows:
1880 census of Stamford, CT:
George E. PARKER, age 40, a
Hotel Proprietor, born MA, parents born MA
Loratha L. PARKER, wife, age 40
, Keeping House, born MA, parents born MA
Edith E. SMITHES, boarder, age
6, at School, born MA, parents born MA
I am hoping to locate someone
from Edith’s family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of her
family. If you are a member of this
family or know someone who might be
please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
