Circa 1892 & 1900 photos of Austie A. Barron & parents Edgar B. & Stacy, OR
I recently purchased in Medford, OR the subject two undated studio portraits.The earlier photo, depicting a young girl, taken by Mrs. M. E. Tyler, Ashland, OR, is identified on the back of the mount:
"Austie Barron"
The other photo, depicting the same girl flanked by her parents, taken by Stratford (no studio location shown), is identified on the back of the mount:
"Stacy Austie Ed Barron"
These individuals appear in a Public Member Tree posted on ancestry.com.The family is listed in the 1900 and 1910 Census data for Barron Precinct, Jackson Co., OR.
Austie Ali Barron is included in the "Oregon Death Index, 1903-98" and the "Social Security Index."Born 10 Mar 1888 in OR, died 9 Aug 1981 in Medford, Jackson Co., OR, was the daughter of a farmer, Edgar Baker Barron, born 25 Jan 1859 in Jackson Co., OR, died Oct 1940, and Stacy Payne, born 14 Dec 1864 in Harrisburg, Linn Co., OR, died 26 Nov 1952 in Ashland, Jackson Co., OR.Apparently, Austie never married.She carried on the family's multi-generation ranching tradition, and according to one account,was "...a no-nonsense, cigar-smoking woman who held her own for years in the very masculine world of Oregon ranching."
