Photo Friday – Morse (née Milliken) & Talbot

Posted on May 3, 2024 by Don Taylor

Linwood Dyer Collection – Part 012
By Don Taylor

This week, for Photo Friday, I identified five people in photos from the Linwood Dyer Collection. This collection includes hundreds of photos, documents, and genealogies of people who lived in Scarborough, Biddeford, South Portland, and Cape Elizabeth, Maine. I analyze the images to reunite the photos with family members who may have never seen the image. The originals in this collection are held by the Scarborough Historical Society.

Calista (Milliken) and Phyllis Morse, August 1909.

The photo identifying information includes:

Photo of Calista (Milliken) and Phyllis Morse, August 1909.
Calista (Milliken) and Phyllis Morse, August 1909.
  • The photographer was Brandt Studio, Biddeford, ME
  • Handwritten on the back in pen is “Phyllis age 5 mos. Aug 7, 1909.”
  • In another hand, written in pencil is “Kitty Morse.”

Why I believe this to be the individual.

  • If Phyllis was age 5 months on August 7, she would have been born on March 7, 1909.
  • A quick search at Family Search found Phyllis Frances Morse, born 7 March 1909 in Biddeford, Maine. She was the 5th child of Frank Edward and Calista (Milliken) Morse.

I am confident the child in this photo is Phyllis Frances Morse, taken in Biddeford when Phyllis was 5 months old. “Kitty” is sometimes a nickname for Calista, so I believe Phyllis’ mother, Calista is the adult in this photo. I uploaded the photo to Family Search and tagged both Calista and Phyllis.

Katherine Evelyn Morse, Sept. 1903 (age 5 months)

Photo of Katherine Evelyn Morse, Sept. 1903 (age 5 months)
Katherine Evelyn Morse, Sept. 1903 (age 5 months)

The photo identifying information includes:

  • The photographic studio was “Philbrick – Biddeford, ME.”
  • Handwritten on the back is “Catherine Evelyn Morse – Age 5 Mos – Sept 23, 1903.”

Why I believe this to be the individual.

  • Katherine Evelyn Morse was born on 22 April 1903 in Saco, Maine. She was the fourth child of Frank Edward and Calista (Milliken) Morse.

I am confident this photo is of Katherine, taken in September 1903. I uploaded this photo of her to her Family Search Memories.

Ruth Edna Morse – August 1898 (Age 5 mos.)

The photo identifying information includes:

Photo of Ruth Edna Morse – August 1898 (Age 5 mos.).
Ruth Edna Morse – August 1898 (Age 5 mos.)
  • The photographer was Philbrick, Biddeford, ME
  • Written on the back is “Ruth Edna Morse – Age 5 Mos. Aug 28/98.”
  • “To Aunt Laura.”

Why I believe this photo to be of Ruth Edna Morse.

  • Family Search quickly found Ruth E Morse living in Saco, Maine. Her parents were Frank Edward and Calista (Milliken) Morse. Ruth was born on 28 March 1898, which corroborates the August 28, 1898, date.

Frank Morse had a sister, Laura Georgieanna (Morse) Milliken. (Calista did not have a sibling named Laura.)

I am confident this photo is of Ruth Edna Morse taken in August 1898. I uploaded it to her Family Search Memories.

George Bird Talbot, circa 1895.

George Bird Talbot, circa 1895.

The photo identifying information includes:

  • The photographer is Conly, 465 Washington St. Boston.
  • Handwritten on the back it says, “George Talbot – son of Emma Morse Talbot.

Why I believe this to be the individual.

  • My search of Family Search for a George Talbot whose mother was Emma Morse found two results that are likely the same person.
  • Emma Boyden Morse is a sister of Frank Edward Morse whose photos I’ve found previously so having a photo of her child in the same collection is likely.
  • A review of Ancestry trees for George Bird Talbot found 8 public trees, none indicate that George Bird had a twin.
  • A review of Ancestry trees for Walter George Talbot found none born on 17 Oct 1889. So, I believe the Family Search entry for Walter is in error.

I am quite certain this photo is of George Bird Talbot (1889-1973) taken when he was about six years old (c. 1895). I uploaded this photo to his Family Search Memories.

George Bird Talbot, c. 1907.

George Bird Talbot, c. 1907.

The photo identifying information includes:

  • The photographer is “Philbrick [Studio], Biddeford, ME.”
  • Handwritten on the back is “George Talbot (Norwood, Mass).”

Why I believe this to be the individual.

  • Family Search identifies George Bird Talbot, born 17 Oct 1889 in Massachusetts. He appears in the 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 Censuses living in Norwood, Mass.
  • The young man in the photo appears to be about 18 years old, suggesting the photo was taken about 1907. According to Biddeford History, Newland Philbrick operated a photographic studio in Biddeford in 1907.

I am quite sure this photo is of George Bird Talbot, circa 1907. I uploaded this photo to his Family Search Memories.

Conclusion

I identified all six individuals. All have Family Search profiles, so I uploaded their images to their Family Search Memories. Due to software limitations, the images uploaded to Family Search have higher quality than the images here.

I would love to hear your reaction if any of these photos are of your family member. Especially if this photo is of a loved one for whom you hadn’t seen this photograph before.

Death of Bert Allen Roberts

Posted on May 1, 2024 by Don Taylor

The Elwood Call-Leader, dated 2 May 1949, chronicled the horrific death of my paternal grandfather, Bert Allen Roberts.

Victims Die Near Elwood Early Sunday

Two bodies found burned to death at 3:30 o’clock Sunday morning in a wrecked semi-trailer truck 300 feet north of the P street road on state road 31 were identified today as Bert Roberts, 46. Detroit, and James F. Bollhoefer, 18, of Gas City.

The man and youth were burned to death when the truck in which they were riding crashed through a barricade in the state road, the front wheels dropping into a two and one-heir to three foot hole. The front wheels dropping into the hole allowed the trailer, loaded with shrubbery, to jackknife onto the cab of the truck. Pinning the driver and passenger inside. State Trooper Howard Bock said. It is believed that gas tanks burst and the flames from the flares around the barricade ignited the gas, Block said.

Apparently the driver Roberts, went to sleep before coming upon the barricade, Bock said. The truck had passed five or six similar barricades before crashing into the fatal hole. Bock described the torn partition of the road, as from two and one half feet deep, extending halfway across the road and about 14 to 16. feet in length. The state trooper said the flares were still burning when he reached the accident scene.

Heard Cries

Two men from Noblesville told the state trooper that they were following the truck at the time of the accident. They heard the cries of the men inside the cab to, “get us out,” but heat from the flames was too intense to attempt a rescue.

Both men were charred beyond recognition. Roberts was identified by his wife and William Bray, owner of the truck. The two come to Elwood from Detroit to make the identification.

Bollhoefer was identified after an address found in his charred billfold led police to the home of a sister in Gas City. He was identified by Harold Crage. a brother-in-law, and Eugene Bollhoefer. a brother, both of Marion. The Gas City youth was returning from Arkansas, and had apparently been hitch-hiking when picked up by Roberts, Bock said.

Call Fire Department

The Elwood fire department was called to extinguish the flames. The truck was described by Bock as a total loss, with the trailer frame and rear tires being the only parts not destroyed..

Bock and Deputy Coroner Robert Jackley investigated the accident.

Bollhoefer was born August 7, 1930 at Marion, the son of Oscar and Mary Bollhoefer. Surviving are two brothers, two sisters and the mother.     .           .

The body has been returned to the Needham funeral home in Marion, with funeral services Wednesday. Burial will be in Grant Memorial cemetery.

Roberts was born Sept. 7, 1903 in Sesor, Ill. the son of Hugh and Clora Roberts. Survivors include the widow, five children, one sister and one brother.

Funeral services will be conducted at the Jackley funeral home, Elwood, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock, with Rev. Robert Sage officiating. Burial will be in city cemetery.

Photo Friday – LaMontagne (née Thibodeau) (later Landry & Lefebvre) & Sampson.

Posted on April 26, 2024 by Don Taylor

Linwood Dyer Collection – Part 011
By Don Taylor

This week, for Photo Friday, I identified the people in four photos from the Linwood Dyer Collection. This collection includes hundreds of photos, documents, and genealogies of people who lived in Scarborough and Saco, Maine. I desire to analyze the images and reunite the photos with family members who may have never seen the image. The originals in this collection are held by the Scarborough Historical Society.

The LaMontagne Girls, Philomène, Louise, Delvina, and Zélia.

The photo identifying information includes:

On the back it says,

  • Winthrop, ME”
  • 2 girls 3 ouzela & Marie best looking girls in Winthrop
  • About 1908 or 1909
  • Marie L Lefebrne, Delvena L Landry
  • Lamontagne girls – their mother
  • Philomene Thibodeau Lamontagne

There is also a return address label for:

  • Grace P Curtis
  • 28 Deer Hill Ave.
  • Westbrook, ME 04092.

Who was the apparent owner (a relative?) of the photo sometime after 1962?

Why I believe this to be these individuals.

Photo of the "LaMontagne Girls," Philomène, Louise, Delvina, and Zélia, Circa 1908.
The “LaMontagne Girls,” Philomène, Louise, Delvina, and Zélia, Circa 1908.
  • A search of Family Search quickly found Marie-Rosalie Philomène Thibodeau, born in 1839 in Canada, lived in Winthrop, Maine in 1900, and Westbrook in 1920. It also indicates that she had eight children – five were daughters. Josephine died in 1878 leaving 4 other daughters. Her husband, André Lamontagne also died in 1878.
    • Marie Georgina Lamontagne (1866-___) – There was no marriage or death information on Family Search regarding Marie Georgina.
    • Marie Zélia Lamontagne (1874-___) – There was no marriage or death information on Family Search regarding Marie Zélia.
  • Ancestry trees add some clarification.
    • One Ancestry tree suggests Philomèna had a daughter, Zuzula (after 1875-___). There are no sources for that information. It also suggests she married Joseph Dostie. However, another Ancestry tree indicates Philomène’s daughter Zelia married Joseph Dostie. I believe Zélia and Zuzula are the same person.
    • One ancestry tree suggests a Marie Leonis’s name was Louise Leonise instead. Another Ancestry tree suggests that “Louise” is a nickname for Leonise. I believe Marie Leonis and “Louise” are also the same person.

I am confident this photo includes Marie-Rosalie Philomène Thibodeau sitting in the front. Behind her are three of her daughters, Marie Leonis “Louise,” Delvina, and Marie Zélia “Zuzula.” The back does not indicate the order of the three daughters.

I uploaded this photo to Marie-Rosalie Philomène Thibodeau’s Family Search Memories.

Dorothy, Donald, & Ruth Morse, Fall 1899.

The photo identifying information includes:

  • The photographer is Philbrick, Biddeford, ME.
  • The back says, “Dorothy 5½, Donald 3, Ruth 1½ – Merry Christmas to Aunt Laura.”
  • In another hand, and in pen, it says “Morse’s.”
Photo of Dorothy, Donald, & Ruth Morse, Fall 1899.
Dorothy, Donald, & Ruth Morse, Fall 1899.

Why I believe this to be these children.

  • Family Search quickly found Dorothy M, Donald Curtis, and Ruth E Morse living in Saco, Maine. Their parents were Frank Edward and Calista (Milliken) Morse. Ruth was born on 28 March 1898, which dates the photo to the fall of 1899.
  • Frank Morse had a sister, Laura Georgieanna (Morse) Milliken. (Calista did not have a sibling named Laura.)

I am confident this photo is of the three oldest Morse children taken in 1899.

I uploaded this photo to Family Search and tagged it to Dorothy, Donald, and Ruth Morse’s Memories.

Katherine Evelyn Morse, 22 April 1905 (age 2).

The photo identifying information includes:

The photographer was H. P. Poisson, 95 Maine Street, Biddeford, Maine.
The back of the photo says:

Photo of Katherine Evelyn Morse, April 1905 (age 2).
Katherine Evelyn Morse, 22 April 1905 (age 2).
  • Katherine Evelyn Morse
  • April 22, 1905 – 2 yrs. Old.

Why I believe this to be the individual.

  • Katherine E Morse was born on 22 April 1903 in Saco, York County, Maine, the fourth child of Frank Edward and Calista E. (Milliken) Morse.

I am confident this photo is of Katherine and was taken on her 2nd birthday.

I uploaded this photo to Katherine Morse’s Family Search Memories.

Edwin Prescott Sampson, circa 1897.

The photo identifying information includes:

  • The photographer is Philbrick, Biddeford, Maine.
  • Handwritten on the back is “Edward P Sampson.”
  • In another hand, it says “Head master – Prof @ Thornton.”

Why I believe this to be the individual.

Photo of Edwin P Sampson, Headmaster at Thornton Academy (Saco, Maine) circa 1890s.
Edwin P Sampson, Headmaster, Thornton Academy (Saco, Maine) probably 1890s.
  • The Biddeford Journal Tribune, dated 23 June 1905, page 6, indicated that Principal Edwin P. Sampson resigned in June 1905 after 16 years of service.
  • The McArthur Library Archives & Special Collections, Photographers & Studios indicates that Gardner & Philbrick studio operated between 1886 and 1893. From then until 1904, Newland M Philbrick operated a studio himself.
  • Edwin Prescott Sampson was born on 10 May 1849 and died on 8 March 1930.  

I believe this photo is of Edwin Prescott Sampson (1849-1930), probably taken between 1893 and 1904.

I uploaded this photo of Edwin Prescott Sampson to his Family Search Memories.

Conclusion

  • I identified all nine individuals in these four photos. All have Family Search profiles, so I uploaded their images to their Family Search Memories.

I would love to hear your reaction if any of these photos are of your family member. Especially if this photo is of a loved one for whom you hadn’t seen this photograph before.

Due to software limitations, the images uploaded to Family Search have higher quality than those linked here.

Photo Friday – Britt, Butterfield, & Eddy

Posted on April 19, 2024 by Don Taylor

Linwood Dyer Collection – Part 010
By Don Taylor

This week, for Photo Friday, I identified the people in four photos from the Linwood Dyer Collection. This collection includes hundreds of photos, documents, and genealogies of people, many of whom lived in Scarborough, South Portland, and Cape Elizabeth, Maine. This week, only one of the photos is of a person from the Greater Portland area, North Yarmouth. The other three appear to be people from LaSalle County, Illinois. I desire to analyze the images and reunite the photos with family members who may have never seen the image. The originals in this collection are held by the Scarborough Historical Society.

Dr. Everett H. Butterfield, September 1898.

The photo identifying information includes:

Photo of Dr. Everett H. Butterfield, September 1898.
Dr. Everett H. Butterfield, of Ottawa, Illinois – September 1898.
  • On the back, handwritten is, “Dr. E. H. Butterfield – Sept 1898.”
  • The front indicates the photo studio is Gerding Studio in Ottawa, Ill.

Why I believe this to be the individual.

  • The 1910 US Census[i] enumerated Everett H. Butterfield, a physician & Surgeon living in Ottawa, Ward 2. Everett was 47 years old, was born in Illinois, and lived at 126 Columbus St. with his wife Letitia, and one-year-old son, Everett R.

I am confident this is a photo of Everett taken in September 1898, when he was about 35 years old.

Ancestry has 10 public trees that refer to Everett Henry Butterfield. Family Search has the profile LYTB-GQZ for Everett H Butterfield. I uploaded this photo of Dr. Butterfield to his Family Search Memories.

Probably Daisy Butterfield, but possibly Miss Farley.

The photo identifying information includes:

Photo of a young woman taken about the turn of the century (1900).
Probably Daisy Butterfield, but possibly Miss Farley.
  • The studio is A.M. Rothschild & Co., State Street – Van Buren Street – Chicago.
  • On the back, in pencil, which you have to hold just right to the light, you can read, “Daisy E Butterfield.”
  • Also, on the back, it says “Maidie Farley – Mid – loh – hain.”

What I learned about this photo:

I have been unsuccessful in finding evidence for either. Possibly someone can read the writing for Miss Farley and help me translate her first name or the words beneath.

  • My initial search for Daisy E Butterfield failed to result in any likely candidates. 
  • Likewise, my search for a Maidie or Nadie Farley failed to result in any candidates.
Text on the back of the photo, saying Maidie Farley....

Fannie Butterfield Eddy, Dec. 1908 (age 20).

The photo identifying information includes:

  • Handwritten on the back is “Fannie Butterfield Eddy – Dec. 08.
  • The photographer was Gerding, Ottawa, ILL.

Why I believe this to be the individual.

Photo of Frances "Fannie" Butterfield Eddy.
Fannie Butterfield Eddy of Ottawa, Illinois, December 1908
  • A search of Ancestry Family Trees for Fanny Butterfield with a husband with the surname Eddy quickly found Fannie Jean Butterfield who married Lewis M Eddy. Fannie Jean was born in 1863 and would be too old to be the young woman in the photo taken in 1908.
  • Lewis & Fannie Jean had a daughter, Fannie Butterfield Eddy, born 26 December 1888 in Marseilles, La Salle County, Illinois. Marseilles is about eight miles east of Ottawa, Ill, where the photo was taken.

I am quite certain this photo is of Fannie Butterfield Eddy, taken in 1908 when she was 19 or 20 years old.

Ancestry has 36 public trees that refer to Fannie Butterfield Eddy (1888-1964). Family Search has profile 9HMJ-6SR for Frances Butterfield Eddy. I uploaded a photo of her to her Family Search Memories.

John Manning Britt, Jr., 1904 (age 15).

The photo identifying information includes:

Photo of John Manning Britt, Jr., 1904.
John Manning Britt, Jr., of North Yarmouth – 1904 (age 15).
  • Handwritten on the back is, “John M. Britt, Jr. – North Yarmouth, Maine.”
  • The front includes “Season’s Greetings” and a 1905 Calendar.

Why I believe this to be the individual.

  • A quick search of Ancestry Trees found John Manning Britt, Jr, son of John Manning and Mary (Caswell) Britt. John was enumerated in North Yarmouth in the 1900 and 1910 Censuses. John, Jr., was born in 1889, so he would be about 15 years old in this photograph.

Ancestry has 13 public trees that refer to John Manning Britt (1889-1915). Family Search has a profile LVCF-JVS for John Manning Britt, Jr. I uploaded this photo of John, Jr. to his Family Search Memories.

Lynnford Butterfield, Dec 1889 (Age 21).

The photo identifying information includes:

Photo of Lynnford Butterfield of La Salle County, Illinois, December 1889.
Lynnford Butterfield of Manilus, Illinois – December 1889.
  • Handwritten on the back is “Lynnford Butterfield – Dec 1889 – 95.27.571.
  • Also on the back is a stamp F.D. Tobey, Photographe. 145 22nd St., Chicago Ill, Enlarging a Specialty.

Why I believe this to be the individual.

  • A review of Ancestry public trees found a Lynnford Clare Butterfield, son of Leavitt Merton and Esther B (Parr) Butterfield. He was born on 2 March 1878 in Manilus, La Salle County, Illinois.
  • In 1899, Lynnford would have been 21 years old, which fits the image of the young man in the photo.

I am confident this photo is of Lynnford Clare Butterfield taken in December 1899 when he was 21 years old.

Ancestry has 28 public trees that refer to Lynnford Clare Butterfield. Family Search has profile LRYZ-VSL for Lynnford. I uploaded this photo of Lynnford to his Family Search Memories.

Conclusion

I would love to hear your reaction if any of these photos are of your family member. Especially if this photo is of a loved one for whom you hadn’t seen this photograph before.

Due to software limitations, the images uploaded to Family Search have higher quality than those linked to here.

Timothy Daly (1867-1923)

Posted on April 15, 2024 by Don Taylor

Welch Project – Ancestor #018
Welch-Daly Line
By Don Taylor

Timothy Daly is found in my Welch-Harris Project tree, three Ancestry Public Trees[1], and is Family Search profile 9KJC-9P5.

List of Great-grandparents

  • 1st Great-grandfather: Francis Asbury Welch (1887-1929).
  • 2nd Great-grandfather: Timothy Daly (1867-1923)

Birth

Timothy Daly’s surname was often mistaken to be Daley and Daily, however, his naturalization record, obituary, and grave marker all say “Daly” which is the spelling I prefer. I looked at Timothy Daly’s birthdate in, “What is Timothy Daly’s Birthdate?” and came to the conclusion 21 February 1867 is his birthdate. He was born in County Cork, Ireland.[2]

During the Great Famine, from 1845 to 1851, Ireland’s population fell by millions due to starvation, disease, and emigration[3]. Following the Great Famine, the “Land War[4]“ that followed created an environment where emigration became entrenched in Irish culture. Timothy was a part of that emigration, arriving in Boston, on 23 September 1882. He was only 15 years old. He then made his way to Biddeford, Maine, before 1885, where he lived the rest of his life.

Marriage

Timothy married Mary Eliza Lyons on 1 November 1886. She too was from County Cork, but I’ve found no evidence that they knew each other when they were still in Ireland, and they did arrive at different times to the United States.

Children of Timothy and Mary Eliza (Lyons) Daly.
