The woman standing to the left of the woman directly behind Ann is my grandmother, Annie Wilson Peifer. My father, Harry Wilson Peifer, is standing on the extreme right. Would love to know who the others are. Sue Marcus

This is a photo of my 3rd great-grandfather, Rev. RudolphDuenger (1808-1902). A native of Wurttemberg, Rudolph was a prominent German Reformed minister who served the Lower Mahanoy Charge in southern Northumberland and Schuylkill counties, 1836-1855. His parishes included Himmels, Howerter Church, Red Cross, Shamokin, Leck Kill, Hebe, and Hegins. He later served Ashland, Tremont and Donaldson, 1856-1891. Jdeeben@aol.com

These two photos are the wedding portraits of William Albert Duenger (1864-1922) and Bessie Grant Hodge (1869-1925) of Shamokin. William was a carpenter in the coal mines. They were married on January 16, 1896. (William was a grandson of Rev. Rudolph Duenger.) Jdeeben@aol.com

This is the wedding portrait of my great-grandparents, Jacob Hugo Ernest Deeben (1863-1931) and Margaret Bassler (1866-1931), who were married in the Zion Lutheran Church in Trevorton on August 18, 1889. Jacob came from
Germany in 1884 and was a miner at the North Franklin Colliery near Trevorton. Jdeeben@aol.com

These three photos (33,34 and 35) of women were part of my grandmother's collection, but are (alas!) unidentified. Given the format of the pictures (two are tintypes), I suspect they are 1870s? 1880s? My grandmother was Jennie Dooley O'Gara, and I suspect these women are her stepsisters. They are Elisabeth Schaffner (b. c.1859, Mrs. James Burcaw); Lillian Schaffner, (b.26 Apr 1861, Mrs. Kimber Mills); and Catherine Schaffner, b. c.1862. Their parents were Carolyn Castetter d/o Daniel Kerstetter and Elisabeth Eisenhart, and Isaac Schaffner, who was killed in a mine train accident 3 Jun 1862 at Big Mountain colliery. An account of the accident is given in "The Shamokin Herald," v.1, no.1 10 June 1862.
As I said, I have no proof that these are Schaffner daughters, only a process of elimination suspicion. Hope somebody out there can recognize them and confirm or refute my idea. Carolyn Taby Larkins LarkLine@aol.com

I found this picture in some family papers. I am not sure who he is, or if he is related to the Morgan family. The picture had deteriorated to where it was in two pieces. I tried to put it together as much as possible for scanning purposes. The back side, also enclosed has handwriting that is not familiar to me. Hopefully he belongs to someone!

Photo of Jacob Davis (born about 1879) and one of his sons, (could be Lamar, Earl, or Robert) one of the sons was a doctor at Ashland hospital. The mother would be my gr-grandma's sister, Harriet (Hattie) Williams. The next photo is Hattie's brother, Edward Williams (son of Bridgett (Carroll) and David Williams). Edward was born about 1898. All people lived in Mount Carmel.

These are actually Shultz boys. Mary (Williams) and John Shultz had about 11 children. These are three of them. The first photo are of William Shultz (born 1908, died Nov 1999) and Tom Shultz (born abt. 1907, died 1999) in Mount Carmel.
The second photo is of Elmer Shultz (born between 1910-1915) and Tom Shultz as a young child.

This picture is of my father's maternal or paternal grandmother. I do not have a name to go with the picture. Any chance that she looks familiar to anyone else's family pictures? I am estimating that the picture was taken most likely after 1910. Rhea rhea@mindspring.com

We have no idea who this fellow is or what year this was taken. However, it does have "killed at Cameron" written on it and we believe that this fellow was probably killed in the Cameron mine. I'd be thrilled if we could identify him. I thought you might want to post this on your site some where and maybe someday his descendents will find him! JLynnAS@aol.com
Lynn Schneider Note: I am the owner of the above picture and I have a few more clues to provide to make an identification. The photo is a cabinet card taken by T. H. Lippiatt, Independence Street, Shamokin. And on the back it along with the studio name are the words "Cloudy Days Good as Sunshine. The Original of the Photograph is Preserved." This photo was with other pictures in an album that have at least some of the children, grandchildren, a sister, a brother-in-law
of Balzer Ritzman 1841 - 1910. Others positively identified in the album are siblings of Mary Ellen Schlegel 1874 - 1959 who married Milton Ritzman (son of Balzer and Sarah Ann (Faust) Ritzman. I would think that he is either a Ritzman, Schlegel or from a family that is connected to one of these families. It was with the Schlegel family members so I think that it is probable that he is a Schlegel or someone connected with the Schlegels, ie Rebuck. -- Marti Wise marti@wisefam.com

Chamberlin, 1901-1970 and Bernice Ebert, 1906-1982 (Tharp and Broscious Families) had ten children. Over one hundred people currently descend from this couple.

These pictures are from the Big Mountain School. This was a small, one room school house located about two miles outside of Shamokin in a small "patch" called Big Mountain. None of the pictures are labeled, with the exception of #2. On the back of #2 is the inscription, "Presented to Henry Fessler, by his teacher Henry Clayberger, May 27, 1902."
Big Mountain 1,2,3, and 4.

I hope these pictures will be of value to someone. If anybody can identify the individuals in the photos I would love to hear from you. Also, I have larger, better quality scans of the photos that I would be more than willing to email directly to anyone who makes a request.

These are pictures that were in my mothers things. She was a FLECK, from Pennsylvania and this picture has been in the family for many years.... It is an unusual one, like I have never seen before as the picture is on the back of the glass itself, not stuck to it, but more like an x-ray, not on paper behind glass either. I would be interested if anyone knew what type of photo this is and around the time era it was used. Also, of course if anyone would happen to recognize the photo, please e-mail me. Thanks, Betty in Virginia... #1, #2, #3, Doug and Betty Hopkins dbhopkins@ccisp.net

This photo was taken at the T. H. Lippiatt art photography studio on Independence Street Shamokin PA. (Thomas Hodges Lippiatt went into the furniture business in 1892 and quit the photo business.) John is written on the back with a modern ball point pen, so that may or may not be this gentleman's name. The cabinet card photo style dates to between circa 1870-1900 and I find most of the dated cabinet cards in my collection to be from the late 1880's & early 1890's, but that could be narrowed down even more depending upon how long this photographer was in business at that address. Contact me if you can identify this young man. Lookin4treasure@aol.com

This lot contains three small cabinet card photos of young
ladies who
attended a female seminary. These are most likely class pictures, taken
in Feb. of 1891. The photos were obtained with others from Mahoney and
Shamokin, PA so I assume the seminary was somewhere around that area.
The young ladies are all identified as follows: Lizzie Maderia, Lillian
Shalkop, and Mame Godshall. Lookin4treasure@aol.com
