Venturing again into the great unknown.

This looks like a young couple and a father. What couple, whose father–a mystery of the box.

3-91

A group of ladies, friends, relatives, enemys? Your guess is as good as mine.

3-115

Two children playing. These toys, the nice doll and tricycle, do not remind us of Papa’s ancestors. Perhaps these are the more well-to-do relatives.

3-117

The broken screen and stoop, the worn clothing and siding. This is more like our ancestors. But we don’t recognize them either.

Please let me know if you know anything about these people, or have matching photos.

Time to skin the pigs. I know many people scalded and scraped them, but this looks like a skinning!

This photo looks like an old settlers or neighborhood picnic. It is printed on a post card.

If it is a family reunion, I hope we get this many at our reunion next Sunday!

Item number 3-97 is a nice boy with a dog.

3-97

Item number 3-99 is a man with some horses. This might be George Lamunion, Belle’s brother. He was sometimes described as a teamster in a logging camp on censuses.

3-99

This nice lady looks a little like the girls pictured here. We don’t think she is one of them, but we wonder if she might be the third sister.

If I was forced to guess, I would think these ladies were two of the Murray sisters, daughters of Mary Ann Lamunion and John H. Murray. Perhaps the older two, Eliza J. 1876- 1960 and Ina Belle, 1878-1964. There was a lot of correspondence in the box from the girls, and their sibling Etta, 1883-1864. But, I really have no idea who they might be.

Please contact me if you have information about this photo or any other that I have posted.

3-92b

I first wondered if this child might be Belle. Belle was the youngest of the Ruscum Lamunion family, and was born in 1864 in New York. The family is shown is on the 1865 census of Manchester, Ontario County, New York, and on the 1870 census of Dorr, Allegan County, Michigan. So is seemed possible.

Then I searched for information on Wm. McComb, and found he arrived in Muskegon about 1878. I now feel this child must be a niece, nephew or cousin of Belle. There were many Jones and Lamunion family members in the area.

Wow! Here’s a big family, even for the time. There are nine children here, just looking at this bunch makes me tired. Imagine hauling water for this gang, or cooking, or washing. I guess a few of the boys could help, but this is a crowd.

3-116

It looks like the two boys in the front might be twins. If you know who this family is, please contact me.

Well, I’m in a hurry now. I have posts of items from the box scheduled through the reunion date. I want to post all items before the reunion next Sunday August 2, 2009, so I’m working to make that happen!

These are all photos of people I can’t identify. They must be friends or family of Belle; if you can identify they, or if you own matching photos, please contact me.

3-68

The man pictured in item 3-68 seems quite nice, and pretty well dressed, compared the the subjects in the majority of the photos. He might be a Lamunion, a Jones, or even an unrelated neighbor or friend.

3-69a

3-69 is a more up to date photo of a child.

3-82

3-82 is a photo post card of a young child.

3-83

3-83 is a nice looking family. They appear to be dressed for church, or some special occasion.

3-85

3-85 is a casual photo of a young lady.
