I started to look at just one picture and it is several hours later, yet I haven't been able to stop! <br /><br />I love looking through old pictures and identifying the people and bringing them to life by learning about their lives. This is so cool that you are doing this. I have read some about your own family but now i am reading about the Hill and Jackson family who's cans of applesauce, and knick knacks and pictures you have handled! How fascinating, and how fun! I am really enjoying your blog. Thank you for taking the time to scan all these pictures and to tell the stories for those who no longer can speak.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355026355428876717.post-27398177752039683182010-07-27T18:20:09.299-07:002010-07-27T18:20:09.299-07:00Hi Larry, You know I love these old photos and all...Hi Larry, You know I love these old photos and all the mystery that they entail..you have lots of info to work on and you live in the area..so I am sure you will find the clues one by one that lead you to this family.

Usually it's simple newspapers that were used for insulation or other items of similar nature. <br /><br />To find the pictures, and a diary, fabulous.Eric S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13214969358950690069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355026355428876717.post-70932855824134855022010-07-24T16:38:29.078-07:002010-07-24T16:38:29.078-07:00Those people are so lucky that you found them.

Or maybe not....<br><br />Isn't it interesting how looking at old photos of people and handling their possessions somehow causes a connection? I hope you'll keep us posted on your search and findings for this family.

The problem is that Osceola, Iowa is in Clarke County. We do that here in Iowa. We have a Pocahontas County in southern Iowa and a town of Pocahontas in Northern Iowa. Osceola County is in the northeast part of the state I believe. Because we were Indian territory we have so many Indian names including Chief Osceola and Ottumwa, and Oskaloosa. Iowa was a tribe of Indians itself. Thanks again for looking it up.<br />LarryL.

Jackson with wife Sarah, but they were older than your pictured couple. I didn't find a matching Hill family in Osceola County in either 1900 or 1910.

I'd like to suggest that perhaps the men are twins and the women their wives. Photos were hard taken back then so the women had to be important to the men. Go looking in the cemetary. Often grave stones tell stories. <br />I cannot imagine how people loose such valuable family possessions.Sr Crystal Mary Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509227559164880311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355026355428876717.post-47637917270021553852010-07-23T23:56:47.429-07:002010-07-23T23:56:47.429-07:00Keep plugging away Larry.
