Unknown Individuals

These photos as well as the two posts that came before this were found in a bin at my aunt Norma Long Adams Rogers. They are unidentified. . . .some could be friends or co-workers.
Some look like they are from the 1960's. . .
Some look much older.

Some are definitely related, but.. . .

I thought this one above was my grandfather Roy Long, but it's not---it just looks like him---possibly one of the Dodsons since we did see a piece of paper that had "Dotson" written on it.


This one looks a little like Uncle Fred (Alfred Stewart Long). It could also be Estes or Eustes Long, Fred's brother.

This clipping identifies the person as Mary Jo Ruppert, who was Mayme (Mary Louise) Reed Baum's granddaughter and the daughter of Bernice Baum Ruppert. Thanks to Catherine for this information.
This looks a bit like a high school Senior picture or Homecoming photo. If you recognize any of these people, leave a comment below or e-mail me.

Unknown Family Photos

The photo above is the one I'm most interested in. I think the woman seated on the right is my great-grandmother Annie Reed Maupin. Carol, the spouse of a Reed cousin, agrees that looks like Annie Reed and that is probably her mother Frances Glanville Reed beside her. Catherine also agrees that Frances Glanville Reed is on the left. Looking closely at the eyes of the children and standing ladies, I'm going to tentatively identify the children as, Myrtle Reed (b. 1891),Harry (b. 1889) and Mattie(b. 1891) Maupin. Myrtle was Frances's granddaughter, daughter of William Reed. That puts the photo around 1892. The ladies standing are probably Frances's other daughters Mamie Reed Baum(13 years old) and Allie Reed Haverstick (18 years old). See another family photo below. A brief family history summary is on the left under Long Family.
Annie Reed Maupin (center) had six brothers and two sisters: William James Reed, George Frederick Reed, John H. Reed, Alice Cora Reed (Allie), Mary Louise Reed (Mamie), Charles Edward Reed, Walter W. Reed, and James G. Reed. So, these photos could be of them, their families or they could even be Glanvilles. Frances Glanville Reed and Annie Reed Maupin took in Elizabeth Glanville Outman's children. So, some photos could be of James Gustav Outman, Mamie Outman or Lillian Outman.
These photos, found in my aunt's basement, were labeled "Maupin, Reed, McKay". Unfortunately, I don't know who most of these people are. Many, like the one above and below, appear to have been sent in Christmas cards or letters.

Unknown Babies

My cousin brought some photos over which his mother had placed in an envelope marked "Maupin, Reed, McKay". My job is to try to figure out who these babies are.

L-R: Hal McKay, Minerva Downen Maupin, Walter Maupin, Maxine Huskey Maupin, Harry Maupin

I think the baby photo below is Uncle Walter Reed Maupin standing in the center above.

And the photo below may be his brother standing on the right (note the ears in both photos)

Valle Girls?

I have made it my mission to identify the photos my sister had in one of Grandpa's cigar boxes. I thought I'd identified Lois Valle and Verna Valle, but when I met Lois she said via an e-mail from her daughter Jean, "The one with the darker hair may be Gladys Valle Cooper (mom's first cousin, daughter of Albert and Alice Valle) and the other one is maybe Edna Valle (daughter of Lawrence and Estelle Valle). Gladys was the first grandchild of Julius and Betty Valle and the only child of Uncle Albert. Edna was the second grandchild and the oldest child of Lawrence Valle. Gladys is deceased and Edna is still living with her younger sisters in California and is 97."
Here is why I thought this photo was Verna and Lois Valley. I was on a Jefferson County Genealogy Web-site (all of the children are identified at Brown School 1926)and took a look at this photo with fresh eyes. Several years after first seeing the photo, I know that I'm related in one way or another to most of these children. My dear friend/cousins (The Jeptha Longs) have many family members here and that's the context I first looked at it. I've recently been aware of the blonds in the family, looked at this photo at the blond children and noted that one of them was Verna Valle. I thought. . "Valle---Great-great grandmother's sister Caroline Tyrey married a Valle." I looked at the photo again (5 th girl on the right) and I was sure that was the girl on the right in the unknown photo.
This photo of Clyde Long is what had me thinking blond. I'd always been told the blonds in the family are from the Reiter side of the family. BUT, g-g grandmother Reiter was a Tyrey (Tyree). David Long (next to his brother) said everyone always said his brother looked just like Chester Tyrey which has me wondering if the photo I dearly want identified is of a Tyrey---especially with my latest discovery.
Looking at this little boy's face is like looking at my nephew and grandson Davis. Go to this blog for more Unknown Photos of the Reiters and Tyreys.

Unknown Photos

Gwendolyn Pigg also sent me these photos, but doesn't know who they are. They could be from the Reiter, Tyrey, Bruns, Drennon families who all lived in Jefferson County, Missouri.
These all seem to be between the Civil War and turn of the century. Dwight and Gwendolyn think the photo below is Peter Romaine McFrey in his Union Civil War uniform. He was killed or died 29 Dec. 1862 at 23 years of age at Vicksburg, Ms.
The children below seem to have been photographed at the same time as the couple below. Gwendolyn writes:

The next two with the same tree like backgrounds look so much like him that they must be McFrys but I don't know which ones. Maybe Peter's Sisters.

The backgrounds seem to be similar with trees.

Double click on the photo below to get a closer look. It is the Kraft Reunion 1920. We have some identifed: 35 is Thomas Long, 37 is Harry Guinther, 39 Lecy Long Guinther, 27 Cecil Long, 26 Guinther, 10 Guinther, 16 Long.

If you are recognize any of these people, please e-mail us. Click on Jaclyn Morgan under Contacts and Contributors to the left. To see more unknown photos from the Reiter, Tyrey, Long, Wiley line click on the lable "unknown photos"

More unknown Reiter/Long photos

I wish I knew more about the photo above---it looks so interesting. But, I have only two clues---one is the crease across the top like it was folded to put in an envelope and the other what is written on the back. Possibly someone can recognize the location or some of the people in the photos. Double click to make the photo larger, then use the arrow to come back to this page

The woman and children below could be the same ones that I grouped together in the previous post on Louis Reiter family. I think this is 3 of the daughters---the oldest one seems to be wearing a "middy" dress---not a mother-style. The hills look like the hills in the previous blog. So, I'm guessing they are Nina Reiter Beck, Gladys Reiter and Eloise Reiter.
I'm not sure of the following---they could just be friends in Jefferson County, Missouri of my grandfather Roy M. Long, or they could be family . . .
The photo above actually has a lot of good information---best is her name is written on the back (Mary M. Heffield), but I also recognize the photographer's name as being a De Soto photographer. I suspect she is one of Roy M. Long's many girlfriends, but that's another blog.

Reiter/Tyrey Children---names unknown

Unknown Children--Turn of the century

While at my sister's, I found a box of children's photos with no names on them. The blond child above looks a great deal like my nephew and grandson (see below). Mother always said they looked like Reiters. My grandson Davis

My nephew Doug

Since this photo and the one with the Ingalls were all together, I assumes they are all Reiters, but they could be of the Tyrey family, too. I know all of Mary Celecy Reiter's children, and don't think any are her children. Amanda Reiter Ingall's children were identified by my parents years ago, but some could be Ingalls. Annie Reiter Phenty and William Edward Reiter had no children, that I know of.Unknown Child--Turn of the century

Unknown Child--Turn of the century

So, these children are either Louis Reiter and Lana Wiley's children: Nina Reiter Beck (b. 1898); Mae Reiter Voth (b. 1905); Gladys Reiter De Roig (b. 1908) or Eloise Reiter (b. 1914). Or, they are from the Tyrey family. The girls below have been tentatively identified: Gladys Valle Cooper daughter of Albert and Alice Valle) and the other one is maybe Edna Valle (daughter of Lawrence and Estelle Valle) whose grandmother was a Tyrey. Click here for more information.

Unknown Child--Turn of the century

Or, they could be Frederick Reiter and Rose Bruns children: Louise Ellen Reiter Sutter (b. 1908); Ina Mae Reiter Pigg (b. 1911); Emmett Reiter (b. 1914); Clara Reiter Kolley (b. 1912).

Finally, one could be Elizabeth Reiter and William Clinton Manion's son Dewey Manion (b. 1898) who is, by the way a double cousin since his great-grandmother is related to me on the Long side (Susan Graham).Unknown Young man--Turn of the century

If anyone can correct the information above or can identify any of these children, I would apprecitate it. The one below is my dad LeRoy Harold Long---but, I think he also looks like the blond in the first photo.LeRoy Long @1919
