Shelley Cardiel rescues photographs from flea markets, eBay, you name it. She does what research she can to identify the family and then posts her findings on mailing lists, message boards, and photo sites in an attempt to reunite the pictures with family. What she does is awesome. I contacted her recently to see if she thought including them here might help. I hope it does! Please contact Shelley if you have information about her photos or project.
I’ve “rescued” an old photograph identified as Luther MEDLEY’S Baby which was taken at the Sextus Ross Studio in Marshall, IL. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900’s with the baby about 1 year old at the time the photograph was taken. I believe that this is a photograph of Luther’s . . . [Yes! There’s more!]
