I recently came into possession of a class picture including my father, George R. "Bud" Fair, which was apparently taken in front of Wilder School in Piqua. I don't know the year but I am guessing my father would have been about 15 so it would have been taken probably 1933 to 1936. No names of I'd like to identify the others in the photo. Dad passed away 10 years ago. He was a tool maker and musician and played music with the Rythm Jesters for a few years. I'd enjoy hearing from anyone who would have known him. Thank you.

Click here for photo #2 This photo is of the Cartwright/Baldwin family. I believe this photo was taken between 1900 - 1910 in Miami County, Ohio. The older couple sitting in the middle front row of the photo is GEORGE STEPHEN CARTWRIGHT born 1855; died 1919 in Miami Co., Ohio and MARTHA (BARD) BALDWIN CARTWRIGHT born Dec. 9, 1853; died Oct. 14, 1927 in Miami Co., Ohio. This is the couple's second marriage. The gentlemen on the left in the back row is CLEMENT ROSS BALDWIN. I would like to be able to place names with the other individuals in this photo. The other names that could be linked to this picture are: Herman, Ray, and Elizabeth (Bessie) Cartwright. Addie, Idella, Emma, Frances, and Clyde Baldwin. Thank you! Deborah Gallina dmbg1222@cs.com

A baptismal certificate (in German) from St. Paul's Church in Piqua dated 1875, for our Grandmother. Thank you! I need help with the names of the people who signed it. Pat Qvick, Dayton, Oh (QVICK@aol.com)

Here are two photos of (1) Arvilla Bayman and sisters and (2) John Birthe & Arrille Bayman and baby. The similarly of the names Arvilla and Arrille make me wonder if I read the writing wrong on one of them. I'll have to check when I get back to the home office. I hope these are enjoyable and helpful to some.

This photo was in my father's collection of family photographs. It is a paper photograph mounted on a card measuring 8"x10". There is no studio name or writing on front or back. Judging from the type of photo and the clothing it appears to be circa 1880-1900. The names I am researching are:

GOHRING/GOEHRING, DARNER, SHELLENBERGER/SHELLABERGER,
DAVIS, TEMPLETON, MAIER, NETH.

If I had to guess, this would probably be a Maier or a Templeton because of the approximate date. I'd appreciate hearing from someone who might give me any clues about who this might be, where and by whom it was taken. Many thanks! John Maier. Please e-mail me at : jdmaier@erols.com

This is a circa 1910 photo of kids in Covington Ohio Grade School. We think that it was likely First Grade. Many of them have been edified. Can anyone tell us more about one or more of them? If so please contact us.
Starting with the first row, your left side, their names were: ?

Joe Bosserman says this is the first grade class of Covington, Ohio. His mother is in the first row. Fred Ullery is in here, also. Joe knows the names of all the children. He is going to forward a listing of the names.

I need help on these two photo's. They both look to be the same man. The one photo the man is in a civil war uniform and has a back mark " Photographed by Denman & McNair, Bet. P.O. and Bank, Over the News Depot of Mering Piqua, Ohio. The other photo has no back mark. Thanks Matt Firemh@aol.com

The following pictures are from the collection of Forrest & Mabel Cron. I am assuming that they come from Mabel's side of the family, so that would make the people in them either Clevengers, Lanes, or Haneys. I'm leaning more to the Lane side as I have a couple that are similar that have names attached to them that are Lanes. If anyone can identify them, I'd be greatly appreciative. I can be reached at RHopkins1975@sbcglobal.net. Photos 2 & 4 are daguerreotypes and photos 1 & 3 are on cardboard stock.
