“Missing Persons”

    Ancestors:

    • Parents of William Kendall and Lydia –?–.
    • Eva Bagley b 1865. We believe she became a Doctor. She is a cousin
      to Josephine. I have 2 pictures of her, one taken in Detroit.

Miscellaneous

  • I own a pair of antique earings that were photographed on two different
    women, one being
    Josephine Loomis Stearns (see above). I don't know
    the identification of the other woman. At that time, Josephine was in
    Detroit. I also have a picture of her in Brattleboro, VT.
  • I have 3 photograph albums full of unidentified photos of Josephine's
    relatives. Many were from the Detroit area, Yankton Dak, Vermillion Dak
    Territory, Mt Pleasant, Iowa, Detroit MI, Brattleboro VT, Akron OH. I do not know how or when they went out there.
