Hello,

I just wanted to share this photo of Mary Jane WOLFORD with you. Mary Jane is my GGGrandmotherÕs sister, Rachel WOLFORD (b: Oct., 1836). Jacob WOOSTER is her husband.

This one photo is a composite of two portraits. The original photo's were taken in Hastings, Nebraska ca 1910. The photo's were found in my grandparents house in Columbus, Ohio before 1940.

I don't have the photographs in my possession, but another family member has the originals. I copied them last year while visiting.

You can click on this link to see this photo:

If this is your family member, I can send you a better quality image of these people, just let me know.

I looked up Jacob WOOSTER and Mary J. in the 1870, 1900, and the 1910 census.

In the 1870 Ohio Census, Salem Tshp., (Lowell? P.O.) Washington Co:

Jacob WOOSTER, 28 yrs. old (b: 1842) in OH and is a Blacksmith.
Mary J., wife, 28 yrs. old (b:1842) in OH, Keeping House.
Lillie, dau., 5 yrs. old (b: 1865) in OH, at school.
William, son, 3 yrs. old (b: 1867), b. in OH.
Lizzie, dau, born in July, 1870, OH
John Morganston, Blacksmith helper/laborer?, age 18 (b: 1852) in OH, both parents of foreign birth.

In the 1900 Nebraska Census, Adams Co., Hastings City:

Jacob is 58 yrs. old (sic/should be 59), b: Sept., 1841, in PA (other than OH, as in the 1870 census), both parents born in Germany, and a Blacksmith.
Mary J., wife, 58 yrs. old, b: Jan., 1842 in OH, father born in PA, mother born in Ohio, and both have been married for 36 years with 11 children, 7 living.
Mary E., dau., 32 yrs. old, born May, 1868, father born in PA, mother born in OH, single, and a Dressmaker.
Nellie M., dau., 26 yrs. old, b: Feb., 1874 in Nebraska, father born in PA, mother born in OH, and a Type Setter.

In the 1910 Nebraska Census, Adams Co., Hastings City:

Jacob is 69 years old, born in PA, both parents from Germany, married for 46 years, and has ÒOwn Income.Ó
Mary J. is 68 yrs. old, born in OH, both parents born in Ohio, married for 46 yrs., 11 children born, 7 living.

No others living with them.

That's it for now. Hope this helps someone...
