Salvaged Treasures

This page makes some attempt to unite photographs and documents with their rightful owners, that being the descendants of the people in the photographs or mentioned in the documents. While browsing some local antique shops, I started looking through old photographs and realized with some sadness that I touched treasures belonging to someone out there, someone who may not know they existed. I bought as many as I could and hope you find a lost treasure here. If you do, please send me so I can send the item to you for a small fee to cover the cost of the item and priority shipping.

Identified Photographs

If the photo has any handwritten notes, I have posted them in quotation marks.
