Unknowns from Woodson County, Kansas

A couple of years ago I was blessed to have a cousin let me copy all the photos out of a photo album that had been my great-grandmother Minnie (Schaede) Murray's. Some of the pictures were identified, but the majority were not. I'm going to share them here in hopes I can find someone else to help me identify them:) Minnie grew up in Neosho Falls, Woodson County, Kansas and died in LeRoy, Coffey County, Kansas. The Yates Center pictures are most likely either Schaede, Yeager, Krien, or other branches of her family.

Guess Who? #2

Some more of my unknowns...

Barrington, IL

Chicago, IL

Yates Center, KS

Pretty sure the woman on the right is my gg-grandma Emilie (Krien) Schaede.

This one is identified as Bill Martins, Mark & Floyd Runnar, and John Mullins. I know how John fits into my family, and the others are supposed to be related, but I don't know how!

This woman is my gg-grandma' Susan (Camp) Murray's sister. The age of the photo would make it either Tamson (Camp) Evans, or Caroline (Camp) Shriver.

This one was on the page with the Camp pictures.

This one was on the Camp picture page too. Isn't she cute?

Guess Who?

Everyone has those pictures, those unmarked ones that taunt you with their hidden identities. Don't give up hope on them, at every chance you get, send them out to new cousins you find and see if they find a familiar face. That worked for me once, I sent xerox copies of my unknowns to a cousin and she found one that was an exact match to one in her collection - he was unmarked there too, but we narrowed down the family he belonged to. So, to whomever may read this blog, I'm going to put my unknowns into cyberspace in hopes of finding out who they are:) These are from my Dad's side of the family (Murray, Schaede, Krien lines).
