Subject: POWEL - PITMAN Family Photograph


> I've "rescued" an old photograph of Cara POWEL taken at the J.H. Faber
> Studio in Norfolk, Virginia.  I would guess that the photograph was taken
in
> the 1890's and that Cara was probably in her late teens or early 20's at
the
> time.  In addition to her name it is noted "Married Allic or Allex
PITMAN",
> the first name is hard to read.
>
> In addition to this photograph I also recovered the following photographs
> from the same source:
>
> *Mr. & Mrs. George G. JOHNSTOWN, taken at the King Studio in Washington
DC,
> probably in the 1890's with the couple appearing to be in their 20's at
the
> time
> *Mrs. A.F. GILSON in her garden at Rescue, Virginia, probably taken in the
> 1880's, she appears to be in her 50's or 60's at the time
> *John ISLIN, taken  at the Tennant Studio in Newport News, Virginia, notes
> he is son of Ben ISLIN
>
> Don't know how these people are connected, however, the handwritten

who
