Mystery Photos

I haven't been able to identify all of the people in these photos. If you know who they are, please e-mail me.

The older woman kneeling in the dark dress is shown in a photo with Harvey Carpenter (below) but her identity is unknown. The others in the photo are unknown.

A picture of Harvey Carpenter and an unknown woman.

The man is Harvey Carpenter but the woman is unknown. Harvey's wife died in 1893 and this picture looks like it was taken in the very early 1900's so I don't believe it's Harvey's wife. This woman does look as old as Harvey though. Harvey died in 1907 so the photo was taken between 1893-1907.

Carpenter Family Reunion? Harvey Carpenter is third from right; others are unknown.

This appears to be a Williams Reunion photo. The third woman from the right (holding baby) is Alice Edith Williams. The older woman kneeling on the right is the same woman pictured with Harvey Carpenter. The third woman from left in front (dark dress) is Minnie R. Williams. In the back row, the third man from the left is John H. Rhead and the sixth man from the left is my grandfather, Hugh Rhead. Others in the photo are unknown.

The man in front of the tree, with the beard, is Benjamin Lyons. The girl standing on his left (with her hand on Ben's knee) is my grandmother, Frances Lucille Lyons and the woman on her left is Benjamin's wife, Sarah Maria Woodruff. Directly over Sarah's left shoulder is Irene Lyons. The second man from the right is Earl Theron Lyons, my great-grandfather. This is clearly a photo of the Benjamin Lyons family but I can only identify five of the people. The photo was taken around 1911.

Benjamin Lyons and his wife, Sarah Maria Woodruff are seated in front of their children. The man standing between his two sisters is Earl Theron Lyons but I don't know the names of the others. Actually, I know the names, I just can't put names to faces.

Unknown family, possibly Rhead's. Lynda Lerum showed this photo to her mother, Velma Rhead Lerum, and Velma identified three people. (Thank you Velma & Lynda!) The man on the left is Fred Dunn. Slightly behind him and to his left is his wife, Fannie Rhead Dunn and behind her and to her left is Velma Rhead. The young woman in the center of the photo, in the white blouse, is Hazel Dunn. To Hazel's left is Flora Endicott Rhead and the man between them is Flora's husband, William Rhead. My father identified the two people on the right as Helen Kilburg and her husband, Basil Burnett.

This picture was labeled Walter Rhead and friends. Walter Rhead is on the left and my father believes the man on the right is Archie Dunn but we don't know the identity of the other man.
