I.B. Newman's Home - NE Corner, 1 Mile East of South Milford
I believe the "cornerstone" above the center window on the South side is dated 1872. There was no writing on the back but I'm sure the young girl on the front porch is my grandmother, Clemma, and she looks to be age 12-16 so the photo probably dates to 1882-1886. I believe the woman in black on the South porch is my great-grandmother, Katie Jane (Childs) NEWNAM and the other lady is her sister, Martha Childs who lived with them. I'm less sure about he men - I think the one in middle is I.B.NEWNAM and the one on the right is his son, Harmer, who became a Doctor. The one on left resembles my grandfather, William WALTER, but looks too grown up compared to Clemma.
