Bill Whitmore Children near Seymour, Iowa This is a cabinet card, early 1900s, with a hand written note on the back that this picture is of the Bill Whitmore Children. This would be from somewhere near Seymour, Iowa, as the photographer is Williams, from that town.
Manufacturer: Williams of Seymour, Iowa  

Family grouping includes Ben & Ruth Wells This is a group of five photos dating to around 1900-1910 era, from the Centerville, Iowa area and or the Seymour, Iowa area.

The one of the couple is marked R.C. Link of Centerville, IA as the photographer and there is a handwritten name of Ben & Ruth Wells on the back.

The single one with the young lady that has a corsage on her left shoulder is marked Bancroft of Seymour, Iowa as the photographer, no handwritten name of the young lady. However, the next photo also seems to be her as well, and it is also marked Bancroft of Seymour, Iowa. Inside this one are 2 small pictures that seem to be the young lady from the couple picture and the young lady with the corsage at an older age. The small photo of the even younger girl, may be a child of either young lady (only a guess).

Adorable child with Lace background Cabinet Card This is an adorable child sitting on an object ( a closer look makes me think it is a highchair) that is draped with beautiful lace. The expression on the childs face is priceless, and the outfit is adorable as well. The boots really stand out against the background. There are no identifying marks/names on the card. I suspect early 1900s and southern Iowa for origination.

James Coombs and Amanda Coombs Memorial Card This is a memorial card made by H.F. Wendell of Leipsic, Ohio. The family is that of James Coombs and Amanda Coombs. This couple was from the Seymour, Iowa area (Wayne County). James is born 27 Mar 1834 and died 1 Feb 1910. Amanda is born 1 Feb 1844 and died 14 mar 1893.

The picture you will see has been lightened so that you can read it. It is actually very black in color with nice gold trim. I also have a copy of a family search I did on James which I will include for you.

Many of the pictures I have on my site seem to stem from this family.

O. B. Halstead Cabinet Cards...set of 3 This is a set of 3 different cabinet cards, all photographed by O.B. Halstead, of Unionville, Missouri, in the late 1800s.

I believe the gentleman in all 3 are one in the same. There is only one marking in pencil and it is on the one of him by himself, noted "Taken May 26, 1890".

I also believe the woman is the same woman in both...a wedding portrait and then a family portrait.

Mr. O.B. Halstead was a somewhat famous person. I researched him a little and found that he is a descendant to King William of Holland and he had geneaology papers to prove that and fought for $300,000 in land in New York City in the late 1800s. Interesting!!
Manufacturer: O.B. Halstead, Unionville, Missouri  

Berly Otto Coombe as a baby cabinet card This is a lovely cabinet card of a baby, with a handwritten name on the back of Berly Otto Coombe. This is most likely from a town in southern Iowa in the time frame of 1900-1905. There is no photographer name on front or back.
 

Burnham, Iowa photograph of Coombs, Armentrouts & More This is a photograph of smaller, cut down size of a family from Burnham, Iowa. The names are handwritten on the back as follows:
Jacob Coombs
Minnie Monroe
Emry Armentrout
Dory Norton
"Taken in the year of our lord 1887 Nov1/22" (This is what it looks like to me)
The photographer name has been almost completely removed by being cut down to a wallet size.
 

Orvil McClurg Cabinet Card Style This is an interesting hairstyle for a young man, and the handwritten name on the back is that of Orvil McClurg or McClung.

There is no name for the photographer, however, the lower right corner does have an impressed mark. I would describe it as a hand holding an arrow with a small piece of twisted rope at the arm's elbow, with this all situated above a shield that has a crescent shaped moon in the top right and lower left quadrants. The top left and lower right quadrants of the shield have lines. I don't know if this relates at all to Civil War era, or just significant to the photographer.

I suspect this young man to be from southern Iowa based on others from the same estate.
 

4 Vintage Photographic Images, Identities Unknown This is a group of 4 vintage photographic images which includes a child, a man in a hat, a woman with elegant braided hair and lace collar and another with two women and I can't help but think of the wicked witch on the bicycle taking Toto in the Wizard of Oz movie when I look at the lady on the right!!

There are no photography studio markings on any of them, nor are they any handwritten names.
