6-2-06. I've "rescued" an
old photograph of Lena GEER which was
taken at the F. P. Kenyon
& Son Studio in New London,
Connecticut. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Lena
likely in her 20's at the time it was taken. I am hoping to locate
someone from Lena's family so that the photograph can be returned to her
family. Based on limited research I believe that this may be a photograph of
Lena A. GEER b. 13 Jul 1865 in Stonington,
CT to parents Henry F. GEER and Hannah M. MAINE.In 1870 the family was living in North Stonington, CT with census records providing the following information: Henry GEER, age 34, a Farmer, born CT Hannah M. GEER, age 27, Keeping House, born CT Ellene E. GEER, age 4, born CT In 1880 the family was still living in North Stonington, CT with census records providing the following information: Henry F. GEER, age 44, a widower, born CT, parents born CT Lena GEER, dau, age 14, born CT, at School John H. GEER, son, age 6, born CT Ellen MAINE, Sister-in-law, age 37, born CT, parents born CT I'm hoping to locate someone from Lena's family so that the photograph can be returned to them. If you are a member of the family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.
