BEESON - BURCHILL Family Photograph
|
I've recovered an old photograph identified as Mattie BEESON
BURCHILL'S baby boy. The photograph was taken at the Bretz Studio in
Pottsville, PA when the baby was less than one year old. I'm not sure which of
her sons this is but I was able to gather the following information regarding
Mattie and her family:
?
Martha ¡°Mattie¡± H. BEESON was b. 23 Apr 1859 in Ohio to
parents Edward Jackson BEESON (1817-1893) and Martha W. or H. CLINE or KLINE
(1826-1872).? Mattie had two siblings,
Laura E. BEESON (b. 1847) and Isaac ¡°Ike¡± Newton BEESON (1848-1870).? Mattie married Alfred Edward BURCHILL
(1856-1933) in 1879 in Pennsylvania and they had 7 children including Clinton;
Laura Evelyn; Charles E.; Elizabeth; Florence H.; Alene; and Baby Boy BURCHILL
all born between 1880 and 1900.? Mattie
had three boys, though the last boy appears to have died at birth about 1900,
so I believe the photograph is either of Clinton b. 1880, or Charles b. 1884.
?
Mattie died 23 Feb 1939 in Williamsport, PA and she is
buried in the Wildwood Cemetery in Williamsport, PA.
?
I am hoping to return the photograph to family and would
appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone
who might be.

Thanks,
