Identification Needed

--From the Roberts Illinois History Group FB page by Eleanor Fencken Eltoft.  2020. 

"I don't know anything about the man in this old photo, except that he probably was a member of the Blesch, Fencken, Gurrad, or Zimmerman families. Can anyone help me?"

John Caleb Kenward, Sr.

James Lossing has several images in his collection he cannot identify.  We posted this to the Roberts History Group FB page asking for identification.  Jean (Thomas) Fox identified Mr. Kenward as her gr gr grandfather.

The following are unidentified.  You can email me if you recognize anyone in these photos.  jandowell@hotmail.com

Exposure Closure


A new blog I just set up to help with identification of "lost and found" photos. Illinois photographers preferred.  Most will have no names with the photos, although some may have identifications included and possibly be for sale.  If so, I will sell to you (and mail to you) what I paid for the photos plus $1, plus shipping. 
There will also be a Facebook page so you can enter photos you need help identifying individuals, homes, or businesses.  Please post to the FB page, and I will transfer to these to the blog. 
Almost all of my photos will be Cabinet Cards from Illinois photographers.
You can always contact me at:  jandowell@hotmail.com

Maybe Another Roberts Home


--Maybe Zahn family members in photo.

A Roberts Home


--Possibly what we would know as the Safford house.  A strong resemblance.  And maybe Zahn girls.
