Lucien O. Markland, b.1877, of Fairbury (Livingston Co.) IL
I have an original early 1900s studio photograph of “Lucien D. Markland and Lena A. Sayrs – he from Fairbury and she from Chenoa”.I’d like to get this photo back to descendants or family members of one of those pictured. Photo was taken in about 1900, and both Lucien and Lena look to be about early 20s.Fairbury is in Livingston Co., IL and Chenoa is in McLean Co., not far away.
I found Lucien Daniel Markland in the WWI Draft Registrations, with DOB of June 17, 1877.In the 1910 census, he was age 32, born IL, and wife was Nellie, age 31, born IL.I can only assume that Lena Sayrs of Chenoa was a girlfriend prior to his marriage to wife Nellie (but of course, it is possible that Lena was Lena Nellie, and the same person – that I do not know).
