Shelley Cardiel (cardiels@comcast.net) has found a photo of a Lafayette girl dated January 1889 and seeks to find a descendant so the photo can be returned to its rightful place. If you recognize this family, please contact her. The photo is of Helen Louise EMERSON, age 4 1/2, taken at the Phillips studio in Lafayette, Indiana. Her limited research has found that Helen Emerson was born in 1885 in Indiana to Harry Waldo Emerson (born 1855) and Fanny Louise ANDREWS (born 1860). Helen had siblings Thomas W. Emerson and Harry A. Emerson who were born in 1886 and 1888, respectively.
