Subject: [MAPLYMOU] STORY Family Photographs
Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2007 12:18:03 -0700


I’ve “rescued” three old photographs belonging to the STORY Family of
Massachusetts.  The first is a photograph of Edith STORY which was taken at
the A B. Cross Studio in Salem, MA.  The photograph is dated 1876 with Edith
appearing to be in her teens at the time.  The second photograph is one of
Lyndon STORY and was taken at the Smith Studio in Boston, MA.  The second
photograph was probably taken in the 1880’s with Lyndon appearing to be in
his 20’s or 30’s at the time.

The third photograph is of Julia STORY MEARS and was taken at the Lovell
Studio in Amherst, MA. This photograph was likely taken in the 1880’s with
Julia appearing to be in her 20’s or 30’s at the time. Based on limited
research and thanks to the help of STORY and MEARS Family researchers I have
gathered the following information regarding this family:

Julianna STORY b. 25 May 1857, married George Franklin MEARS on 31 Dec 1883
in Essex, MA and died 18 July 1959

Lyndon Job STORY b. 10 Nov 1858 in Essex, MA, he married Mary Augusta DENNEN
(daughter of Parker DENNEN and Margaret C. FRASIER) on 26 Jun 1892 in Essex,
MA, and died 15 Dec 1931, Lyndon also had an illegitimate daughter, Edith
Lyndon STORY b. 19 Sept 1891 in Essex, MA with Lillian S. PURKIS

Edith May STORY b. 6 Aug 1860 in Essex, MA, she died 11 Feb 1886
