Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Burned out Factory
« on: Saturday 08 December 12 03:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all. This photo shows the Toy factory where my Gr Grandfather was burned to death while working as Night Watchman leaving a wife and 6 kids back in 1903 in Dayton, OH, USA. The picture was originally so dark that nothing could be seen. Could someone clean it up for me? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you all very much! I appreciate your efforts and wish you the best of luck in your quests for family history info.

  Thanks for your thoughts on this.  Just a bit more background info: It has always been said that the father and mother in this photo didn't know each other's language when they first met. Her family(The Dellers) spoke German and his family(Smith) spoke French and originated from the Alsace Lorraine area. This made research easier for me because the census and other info lists these Smiths as French. This made it easier to pick out the related Smiths among all the others out there. A colorization would be great. I didn't ask for this because I thought it might be too difficult.

  Thank you all for your efforts! I found the picture to be interesting as well. Its the only known picture of this family. They were a simple farmers family at the time so I don't think they lived in any caravan. Why the portrait was taken in front of the actual studio is a mystery. The picture was taken in the very late 1800's. I'm thinking they could hardly keep the baby girls from sitting still and that was why they turned out so blurry.  :)

 This is an old family photo of the Smith family from Stonelick OH USA that has recently been received from distant relatives. After farming all his life this father moved his family to the big city(Dayton, OH) and started working as a nightwatchmen at a toy factory. The factory burned to the ground after he worked there less than a week and he burned to death trying to recover some of the finished toys inside.If you could clean it up some we would greatly appreciate the effort!
