Susanna Powers
Susanna (Susan) LaRue Powers (1824-1881) was the wife of Thomas Thornton (1824-1916) and the mother of 12 children, one of them being Helen Thornton. I have been puzzled by the absence of a photo of Susanna in the family photo … Continue reading

Who are the twins?
May not be identical twins but someone went to a lot of work to make two identical outfits. Taken in Orono. Apparently women wore tight fitting dresses in the 1880s so this might give us a possible date.

Who is this couple?
No identification on this photo other than the name of the studio in Toronto. I can make some guesses, but can you help. I know also that Sidney Hughson (Laura Thornton’s son) moved to Toronto at an early age as … Continue reading
Who are these children?
I believe there is key hidden in this photo, but I cannot find it. Three daughters and a son, two oldest girls may be twins and they all have somewhat distinct ears. The photo appears to be from the 19th … Continue reading
