Original courtesy of Nancy Benton Some retouching Ancestor Delana Jane Fowler Brewer, b. 1854, married David Nathaniel Brewer, here has had what must have been a special hat memorialized. The photo was possibly taken about, what–1915?–in Missouri. Perhaps it was a brand spanking new Easter bonnet.

James Allen Noyes and granddaughter Pansy
James Allen Noyes strolls with granddaughter Pansy Noyes, eldest child and daughter of Ray Noyes and Bettie Brewer. I’m guessing the photo is from about 1900 when Pansy would have been 5 years of age. James Allen would have been about 74. This photo would have been taken in Liberal, Barton County, Missouri.

Elizabeth Noyes Lovett
Original photo courtesy of Nancy Benton. Attempt at some restoration Added a little color to see what the effect would be. This photo of Elizabeth, a daguerreotype, would have been taken somewhere in the late 1840s to about 1850. Perhaps it was made in 1848, at the time of her husband’s death. Or was it…
