Do you recognize a relative in these photos?
They are likely relatives of Abraham S(tauffer) Loucks who built his house in 1889. The photos were found in Abraham's House and likely came to rest there when his brother Martin (Stauffer) Loucks died in the house across the street. Abraham and Martin were brothers (sons of Nancy Stauffer Loucks) and were related to the folks in the photos. Martin and brother John made the trip West and made the contact with the distant cousins, and consequently kept in touch.
