I have an old studio photograph of Sadie HOOK of Hedrick, IA which was taken at the J. C. Barkhurst Studio in Ames, IA. She is identified as being from the Iowa State College Class of 1896 and appears to be in her teens or 20's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Sadie and her family: Sarah or Sara “Sadie” Caroline HOOK was b. 22 Feb 1876 in Highland, IA to parents James Grant HOOK (1839-1905) and Virginia “Jenny” or “Jennie” ELLER or ELLIS (1845-1897). Sadie was one of 11 children born to this couple including Mary; John B.; Orin or Oren; Wallace Allen; Sadie; Jesse; Baby Girl; Fredie; James William “Will”; Franklin Leslie; and Maurice or Morris Glen or Glenn HOOK, all born between 1868 and 1889. Sadie married Henry Edgar “Ed” PASSIG (1869-1947) on 7 Sept 1904 in Humboldt, IA and was a teacher and a drama coach in Humboldt, IA and Claremont, CA until she moved to Fort Dodge, IA in 1953. Sadie died 18 Oct 1961 in Fort Dodge, IA and is buried in the Union Cemetery in Humboldt, IA. She was survived by her brother Maurice G. HOOK of Hubbard Lake, IA. I am hoping to get this photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be. Thanks, Shelley

I've recovered an old photograph of Oscar M. OSTLUND Sr. and an unidentified young man which was given to his sister Jennie OSTLUND in Duncombe, IA. The photograph looks to have been taken some time between 1907 and 1920 with Oscar likely in his teens at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Oscar and his family: Oscar Martin OSTLUND was b. 15 or 16 Jun 1892 or 1893 in Duncombe, IA to parents John Jonsson “Jons” OSTLUND (b. 1862) and Gurina Julia ANDERSON (b. 1862) who were married in 1885. Oscar was one of 8 children born to this couple including Minnie Josephine; Newet or Newt “Nutie” Mercelious; Jemice Jennie Gurina; Oscar Martin; Sophia “Sophie”; Ruth Margaret; David Lorentz; and Emmet OSTLUND, all born between 1886 and 1906. Oscar was married twice, first to Glynnie Claire DILLON on 26 Sept 1921 in Fort Dodge, IA and second to Lenore “Nonie” Margaret BOWERS (1892-1974). Oscar and Nonie had two children including Oscar Martin OSTLUND Jr. (1932-2016) and Anderson “Anders” Bowers OSTLUND (1936-1993). Oscar died 24 Oct 1963 in Williamsport, PA and his ashes scattered in Cascade Township, Lycoming Co., PA. Oscar’s sister Jennie Gurina OSTLUND was b. 5 Mar 1890 in Duncombe, IA and married Albert Julius KNUTSON (1889-1977) on 3 May 1911 in Webster Co., IA and they had a son, Myrus Lowell KNUTSON (1914-2005). Jennie died 5 Oct 1971 in San Bernardino, CA. I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
