Salvaged Treasures
This page makes some attempt to unite photographs and documents with their rightful owners, that being the
descendants of the people in the photographs or mentioned in the documents. While browsing some local antique
shops, I started looking through old photographs and realized with some sadness that I touched treasures belonging
to someone out there, someone who may not know they existed. I bought as many as I could and hope you find a lost
treasure here. If you do, please send me
so I can send the item to you for a small fee to cover the cost of the item and priority shipping.
Identified Photographs
If the photo has any handwritten notes, I have posted them in quotation marks.
