The men in this picture belong to some type of class or
organization. All of the men are wearing a ribbon, an award
maybe? The only known individual in this picture is John
Krick (Back row, 2nd from left).
I would appreciate any help identifying the other individuals,
the ribbon and anything about the organization.
Thank you!

My name is Rick Whisman and I’m a local
historian in the Huntington, WV area. Recently, I purchased
3 photographs from the 1800s taken in Portsmouth, Ohio.
As these photographs appear to be people of possible local
(i.e., Portsmouth, Ohio area) notoriety (e.g., politicians,
etc.), I was hoping that you might be able to identify them
for me. Anyway, any help you could provide me with the identification
and possible biographical information on these individuals
would greatly be appreciated. Also any information on the
photographer would additionally be appreciated. I would
like to thank you in advance for your help regarding this
matter/request. I look forwards to your response. Again,
thank you for your help.

I recently received about 100 pictures that were my grandmother's.
Only about 8 were identified. The two pictures are probably
from the Chick or Maddy family. I believe the two men with
beards are the same person. If anyone can help I would be
grateful. Kathleen Bennett Keenan

I am descended from Robert Keppler Burns born
in Columbus/Bexley, OH, son of my Grandfather Andrew William
Burns born in Lucasville to Great Grandfather Michael Burns
(born Byrne in County Laois, Ireland) and Great Grandmother
Mary (Crowe) Burns. I came across several old matted photographs
with the attached one done by Lutz's Studio and bearing
on its back the reference "Mike Burns?" and "Second
Street" pertaining either to my Great Grandfather Michael
Burns or to his son my Great Uncle Michael Burns. I have
a photograph of my Grandfather Andrew Burns' brother John
A. Burns and wife also taken at Lutz's Studio bearing on
its back the reference "88 West Second St."
The attached photograph taken at Lutz's Studio
has the same background as the photograph at your website
described as follows:
Unidentified male taken at "Lutz"
studio in Portsmouth, Ohio.
Date unknown.
I have an old photograph of a young woman
who I believe to be a sister of my Grandfather Andrew Burns
bearing on its back L.Kiefer Artistic Photographer, and
an old photograph of another young woman who I believe to
be another sister of my Grandfather Andrew Burns bearing
on its back H.B. Hull Paragon Art Gallery; both photographers/galleries
were of Portsmouth.
I have a number of photographs, e.g., one
of a baby who I believe to be a brother of my Grandfather
Andrew Burns showing on its front stock B.G. Harris, one
of a young woman showing on its front stock Harris Art Gallery,
another believed to include a niece of my Great Grandfather
Michael Burns showing on its front stock B.G. Harris of
Portsmouth.
I have a photograph who I suspect to be of
my Great Great Grandmother Mary (O'Laughlin) Crowe as a
young woman showing on its front stock Gillett of Portsmouth,
another of my Great Grandmother Burns as a young woman,
a young man either her brother or husband (my Great Grandfather
Michael Burns), and presumably my Great Great Grandparents
Andrew Crowe and Mary (O'Laughlin) Crowe showing on its
front stock Gillett of Portsmouth, and a photograph of an
elderly woman believed to be my Great Great Grandmother
Mary (O'Laughlin) Crowe (but maybe one of my great aunts)
who lived well into her 100s (1807-1911).
My grandfather and his siblings were born
as follows: John A. Burns in 1870, Mary (Burns) Williams
in 1872, Michael Burns in 1876, Elizabeth "Lida"
(Burns) Martin in 1879, Andrew Burns in 1882, Margaret (Burns)
Moulton in 1884, and Charles Burns in 1887. My Great Grandmother
Mary (Crowe) Burns was born in 1844. My Great Grandfather
Michael (Byrne) Burns was born in 1843.
I would greatly appreciate any knowledge any
of you folks have about the years the galleries/photographers
above were in operation. I suffering through the process
of posting photographs to my website and when completed
I'll send you the links. I have quite a few Lucasville-area
photographs.
Please Contact Robert Burns with any information

The picture on the left is the same as the one below. I can't
tell if this is Will b. 1865, maybe his brother, James Thompson
Crain b. 1868, or someone else altogether.
The one on the right is William Edward Crain and wife, Elizabeth
VanSkiver with their children Elsie M. b. 1889 and Clarence
Albert b. 1890, both in Indiana.
Will was born in Portsmouth, Ohio and James was born in Missouri,
I think their father died in MO, prior to 1870.
Will and James lived with Henry and Ann Wiley Paden in Portsmouth
until after 1880 when they came to IN. James died 1888 unmarried.

This is a photo of my great-grandfather, William Edward Crain,
b. 1865, Portsmouth, Ohio, to A. J. or J. A. and Mary Ann Paden
Crain. It is a copy of a tin-type.
I have been trying to find my Crain relatives for over 40 years
to no avail. Also would like to know what happened to siblings
of Mary Ann Paden.
Her parents were Henry and Ann Wiley Paden. Sibs; William, Maggie,
John, Sarah and Ellie of Portsmouth, Ohio, later Green Twp.
I can find no records of these people except census with Henry
and Ann.

Unidentified male taken at Central Gallery in Hamilton, Ohio.
I thought this might be a Crain because he looks a lot like
a Crain cousin of mine. This photo and the photo Unidentified
male taken at "Lutz" studio were on facing pages of
my g-grandmother Crain's album.

This is one of my favorite photos. We have no idea who he
is. The filigree around the picture is gold and the picture
has been cut out and glued into the oval.
Possibilities are Crain or Paden who were from Portsmouth, Ohio
or VanSkiver or Parker who were from Preble and Butler Counties.
Some of the families stayed and some went to Indiana, in the
1870's.

Family of William T. and Christina Miller
Mackey
"This family photo was taken in Portsmouth in early
January 1950 after the funeral of my grandmother, Chrisina
Miller Mackey. I have long wondered about the location and
names of the buildings in the background. Is anyone able to
identify the buildings for me?"

be the Old Methodist Church in West Portsmouth. The third from

"Mrs. Rosemary Crabtree recognized the photo
(above), posted in the last edition of SCCOGS News.
She said it was taken at the Bethany Baptist Church in Rushtown
- which is still standing.
It is a photo of the members of the Robinson Post GAR.
She said she knew that Abraham Doll was in that Post but had
info that Peter was in the Bailey Post at Portsmouth, but he
could have transferred maybe."

These two unidentified pictures belonged to my Great-grandfather
Edwin Godwin Turner (1872-1952), who lived most of his life
in Scioto Co., OH. Edwin G. Turner was the son of Martin Slocum
Turner and Emaline (Rose) Turner. His grandparents were Joseph
and Aurilla (Slocum) Turner AND Simon S. and Mary (Griffith)
Rose. All of these lived in Scioto Co., OH. It is believed that
these pictures might be of Edwin G. Turner's grandparents. Any
information on these pictures would be greatly appreciated.

"The
photo was found in my father's trunk after his passing.
His family has a direct connection to Scioto county with my
gggrandfather, ggrandfather, and grandfather being from the
area. I'm told that Thomas Katon, my gggrandfather,
is listed as the county's first blacksmith. The Katon
name has been spelled Caton, Keton, and finally Cayton.....there
may even be some other spellings that I haven't run across
yet.
The
photo has an embossed matt with the name Harris' Art
Gallery, Portsmouth. If I could find the time
that the Harris Art Gallery/Photo Studio was in operation,
I might be able to narrow the time frame, but I haven't been
able to find the right Portsmouth records yet. The type
of clothing design may also help. The apparel seems
to be before the 1900's and suggests even Victorian collars,
etc.---possibly 1880-90's. I have both aunts and uncles
from that time frame so I can't narrow the search from that
standpoint. If anyone recognizes either
of these faces from this or other photos, I would appreciate
a name.......my source for such information is gone.
I
would be willing to share digital copies or computer printed
images with anyone interested. I can be contacted by
snail mail at David Cayton, 24477 Dixie Highway, Perrysburg,
Ohio, 43551 or e-mail at davidcayton@wcnet.org
