Erasmus Augustus Ennis family, 1898. This is a great picture! There are 14 extremely handsome children. Mom is pretty too. Dad? Well lets just say he looks kind of interesting! He must be reasonably handsome under that hair.

Foster family, 1907. Bessie Foster is one of the little girls, pictured with her parents, two brothers, and two sisters, Ann and Edith.

"This is my grandma Bessie and her family. (She married Omer Clark Tackett and had 7 children with him.)" Pictured in order are: William Newton Foster, Nellie Ann (Ned) Foster, William Foster Sr., Bessie Foster, Sally Ann Robinson Foster, Ollie May Foster, and John Foster. Not in picture are America (William Foster's oldest), De Lois, and lil brother not born yet.

Here are Bessie (from above picture) and her husband, their daughter-in-law, and her five children, left to right: Darlene, baby Joyce, Karen, Joanne, and Alice.




A portrait of the Mutter family, 1890. I wish it were better quality as it looks
so-o-o-o interesting. Matching plain dresses, kids in a long row, etc.

This photo was found in a box of photos which belonged to Mary Virginia Mason Gillam of Huntingdon Co., PA. The photo says "Jim Wileman, wife and ten children" Contributor's aunt Sarah says he was "Virgie's cousin."




This is a photo of Erwin and Dorothy (Steffen) Buelow with their children. I believe this photo was taken in the mid to late 1950s.

Look at that! I'm a Foster--very neat. That father looks a lot like my family.

Francis Samuel (Bud) Johnson and family

This is the Bud Johnson family of Pike County, Arkansas. Names are on the photo itself. One son remains unlisted. The picture is from Ancient Faces, at http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/380039 I am really depressed about this poor gentleman's unbuttoned waistcoat! Imagine how humiliating it would be to get those photos back and have no option for a retake.

Two beautiful "found photos"

I first saw these photos on a blog called Celestial Charms .  When I asked permission to post them here the owner kindly said I could post any photo from her Flickr photostream!  Thank you so much, Maureen! I'll start with the the two photos that I found at her blog post, Thoughts on Victorian Fashion. As usual, please click on the photos to see them at their best.   First is a lovely photo of five little brothers from Canajoharie, New York.    Next is one of the same five boys with their two sisters and their parents as well.   They look like a pretty well-to-do family, and with all those boys there must have been a fair bit of mischief going on.  And with the girls, even more.  I can say this as my family is almost exactly the same in make-up, though spread out in age more than this one.   See Maureen's thoughts about the fashion and dating of these photos here at Celestial Charms--Thoughts on Victorian Fashion .
