A remarkable antique photo album from the Houser family has been located!
I have good news for researchers of the Houser family.
If you are a relative,then I have even better news for you.
A remarkable antique photo album from the Houser family has been located.
I am Robert D. King and in my travels, I see family photos lost in antique stores and for sale on ebay. I think that is sad knowing that there are family tree researchers and descendants, that would treasure those photos. So I have decided to try and do something about it by returning as many as I can to their rightful families.
So I buy photos with names and dates or places on them and list them on my webpage, so descendants of these lost souls can find them and bring them home. The thousands of photographs are mostly from the 1800's and include Tintypes, Daguerreotypes, Cabinet Cards, Carte-de-visites, Personal Picture Postcards, Photo Albums and Yearbooks.
Recently I located Etta Houser’s Photo Album from Liberty, Indiana.
This is the only snapshot album in the collection. However, I included it because of
the amazing early personal photography. This small (5 x 5.5 x 1 inch) brown album
has a combination of early automobiles and horse drawn carriages from 1915 to 1917,
in 92 very clear early Brownie camera snapshots.
On the inside cover it announces that the album belongs to
Etta Houser from Liberty, Indiana.
It shows the Nebraska Moline Plow Company near the RR Station
at Omaha, Nebraska as well as the depot itself. The adventurous
ladies in this album have photos at the Mesa Verde Cliff dwellings,
Indians at Colorado Springs, Helen Hunt Falls, Catalina Island,
Seven Falls, Garden of the Gods, San Diego Expo, San Francisco,
Council Bluffs, Iowa., Pensacola, Florida, Depot at Williams AZ,
Pan American Expo, Temple in Salt Lake, Niagara Falls,
Pikes Peak, Lookout Mountain and the Grand Canyon.
The names in the album are:
Etta, Edna, Leah and Bird.
