Orphan Photo #134
A lovely lady. I believe the photograph's imprint reads: A. P. Webb Co., 141 & 143 W. Federal St., Youngstown, Ohio. According to the book Ohio Photographers: 1839-1900, there was an A. P. Webb in Youngstown from 1888-1897.1

Someone's jumping for joy! Too bad we don't know who they are or what the occasion is.

Found: Unclaimed Ancestors
Jodi’s mission is “connecting old photos and memorabilia with the families searching for them.” Kudos to her for starting her blog!
And, since I have found several blog similar to Who Will Tell Their Story?, I have started a Blog Roll, which can be found in the menu bar at the top of this blog.

Love this! I wonder who she is. The photographer's imprint is nearly impossible to read, but I think I can make out "Ft. Way", so I'm guessing Ft. Wayne, Indiana.

Orphan Photo #131
Looks like a graveside photo with a portrait of the deceased. On the back it reads: "A likeness of my dear boy for a christmas present aunt Delia the flowers on his grave funeral day."
