Orphan Photo #152

No idea who she is, but I gather she was from Canton, Ohio.  Even though the photographer’s imprint is damaged, I can make out a C and then an O followed by a period.  Since I have other photos from Canton, Ohio, this was my immediate thought. 

Searching on the name Vignos in the US censuses, I found an Augustus Vignos in Canton, Ohio, although the occupation had nothing to do with photography, nor did that of his son Alfred.  But, apparently, the business they ran, although it dealt with cutlery, also included photography (see the following PDF document that someone put together about Augustus, his business, and photography). 

And of course, once I’d already written this post and went to set my tags, I saw that I already had one for a photographer “A Vignos.”  And wouldn’t you know, it was from Canton, Ohio. 

Now that I look at that I take a look at the other photo, I wonder if they are the same person, #152 being a younger Theodosia Currier.  Hmmm.  What do you think?

This CDV is of Theodosia Currier, who was a teacher at Miss Buckingham’s School.  It was taken about 1896-1899 in Canton, Ohio. (All information was written on the back.)

I wasn’t able to find Theodosia in a quick search on Ancestry (and by quick I mean that I did spend two hours!!).  But it’s such an interesting photograph that I intend to keep looking to see if I can identify any family that would love to take ownership.
