I had to take a moment to thank each and everyone of you for taking your time to help me restore this photo.  Cecelia was pretty special to me since she stepped into the shoes of my great grandmother when she died to take care of her two children.  My grandfather was only a week old when his mother died.  Each and every one of these restorations are near and dear to my heart and I am truly grateful!  Thanks once again!

Carole in Dallas.  I don't think you need my permission as I was tinkering with your own photographs. If you do, then you have it as I'm grateful for the opportunity to practice the repairing and restoring of pix which I can then apply to my own family's collections.   Half my family have sticky out lugs, including me and only my youngest sister had hers 'normalized' by a plastic surgeon at Canniesburn hospital, Bearsden, nr. Glasgow when she was 12 years old as she was bullied and mocked at her school.  A very simple 'cut' of some cartilage was all that was needed.  My brothers and I suffered the same but learned to fight, my usual response to ' Loppy Lugs' and ' Nelly the Elephant' and ' Hoi, Big Ears, where's Noddy?' was ' you may well laugh but they're not half as funny as your broken nose.'
Here's what James would have looked like if he had had the operation.

You made me chuckle with your story!  Thanks ever so much for the smile!

I did not have ears like that, but my little grandson does!  I was wondering where these came from!  Now I know!  Smiling!

Hi all!

Going through the family box of photos I just received as a gift from my 3rd cousin.  This Cecelia has a lovely story on findagrave.

Thanks ever so much or helping me in restoring her to a color that is not yellow.

When I look at the Washburn men, William H. Washburn 1832-1900, Whitson Washburn 1809-1868,  Frederick Washburn 1869-1948.

The one Wylde man would have been Henry Ernest Wylde 1832-1881.

I discounted Frederick because the clothes would not fit the 1930s to 1940s.

Henry Wylde was only 49 when he died.  Whitson Washburn was only 49 when he died.  Only one left would be William H Washburn - 68 when he died and his residence was Haverstraw.

I went down another paternal line, but that gentleman was living in Westchester County, New York - not in Haverstraw, New York. 

Would help if I can figure out which of the Garners living in Haverstraw is the correct Garner.

I believe they all assume it is Alexander Garner, but on the photo it simply says Garner.  What does the clothing look like to you?

There was nothing on the back of the photo.  Will look at it once again.

I have been searching Census records with the last name of Garner to see if there was a photographer in Hackensack, Rockland County, New York with that profession.

When I went back into the family tree I intially thought this photo would be the following fellow.
