Burdick Mystery Photo 1
Here is another photograph from Kathy. She writes,
"The seated man in this
well-worn picture is Lyman Sullivan BURDICK, Jr.,
son of Lyman Sullivan BURDICK, Sr. and Almira BONESTEEL. Lyman, Jr. was
born in Grafton in 1845 and died in
Berkshire County, Massachusetts in
1889. I would like to identify the standing man."

Here is a third photograph from Kathy. She writes,
"The man in this picture is Lyman Sullivan BURDICK, Jr., born in Grafton
in 1845 and died in Berkshire County, Massachusetts in 1889. He married
Laura THAYER, the daughter of Lorenzo THAYER and Polly BURDICK. The most
likely identification is that the seated woman is Laura THAYER BURDICK and
that the young woman standing is Lyman and Laura's daughter Emma BURDICK.
Can anyone conclusively identify these two women?"
