Do you Know who this lady is ?
We
believe she is from the Florida panhandle area. Perhaps from
the
Ruckel family. Please email us or phone (850)537-5714. We are
willing to give the original to the family. It is such a nice
photo; we want to give her a name/home.

re:
Jim Taylor
Hi. I am researching my gg grandfather Jim Taylor. He was married to
Adeline "Daught" Steele and they lived in Laurel Hill. Adeline was born
in 1858 and died in 1946. Not much is known about Jim. Family lore says
that he had a job at the post office in Laurel Hill but got into
trouble there and fled to Texas leaving his family behind. I know
nothing of his parentage. I am including the wedding pictures of Jim
and Adeline's two sons Josephus born in 1890 and Henry Herbert born in
1893. I have found Adeline in the 1885 census as single and in the 1900
census with just she and the boys. I have been unable to find Jim
Taylor on any record. I am hoping to visit your facility in March. I
live in Pennsylvania.
Thank you so much,
Rene Schaffer
