Durand Illinois. early 1900s
My son Mark found my mother Marian and her brother John in the photos. My mom was born in 1912 so this photo must be about 1914.
Ancestor born in 1795 – My Father’s Side
Not sure why the info on the back says two years 1862–63 for death date unless it’s an approximation?.
Katherine is from my father’s mother’s line. I wish I knew more.
I don’t see any family resemblance.
