Some photos have been dated and identified by family members. We were also fortunate to have some labeled by the original owners. Some unlabeled ones required a little guesswork based on apparent age of the subject and similarities to other labeled photos. If you have more correct information for any of the displayed photos, please submit it to us.

More WWI correspondence from John Louis and Santford Paul to Imogene, their sister:
It is perhaps noteworthy to mention that Elijah, John, Santford Paul and Harry Clyde's father, died June 7, 1918, while all three sons were serving in the military during WWI. Their first born child, Imogene, along with husband Raymond F. Kagay, was living far away from home in Mission, Texas, with the threat of Mexican incursions by Pancho Villa's raiding parties across the border into Texas. What a stressful time this must have been for both parents, especially Lillian Mae after Elijah's death.

Matilda Marmon? (Lillian Mae's mother) This is an unlabeled "tin type" photo. If this is Matilda, her age in this photo would make this a pre-Civil War picture.
Santford Paul Rosette (?), ca. 1909, Richwood, Ohio.
Unknown, with Rosette pictures. (Ohio)
Lillian Mae's Aunt Sara Marmon in Richwood, Ohio.
