Here is the mystery photo for
today, 20 Nov 2017
This is an unidentified photo
from my father's, (Lester Albertson) collection. I believe it was
originally from his mother's photos, Lucie (Smalley) Albertson. Some
of the surnames from her family include Smalley, Shipman, Hemphill
and Chase. But she also may have collected photos from the Albertson
family.
It is quite small, the image
about 1.35 inches by 1.85 inches, pasted onto cardboard about 2.85
inches by 3.5 inches.
On the back of the photo the
following is handwritten:
September
20 – 1903
Canton Ill
From H.M.J.
Cuba
Illinois
I
checked Wikipedia and found that Canton now has a population of about
14,000 and it is the largest city in Fulton County. Cuba is also in
Fulton County and its current population is about 1200.
I don't know who lived in those towns in Illinois, so if it rings a
bell for anyone, please let me know.
