Zelma D. Phillips Aust
I have an old studio photograph of Zelma PHILLIPS AUST which appears to have been taken in the 1890's or early 1900's. Zelma appears to be in her teens or 20's at the time the photograph was taken. There is no studio or location identified, however, I believe this is a photograph of the following person:
Zelma D. PHILLIPS or PHILIPS b. Mar 1883 in Great Valley, NY to parents Harvey James PHILLIPS (1837-1918) and Emily Sylvania or Sylvina or Sarah ARMSTRONG (1841-1906) who were married 21 Mar 1864 in Cattaraugus, NY. Zelma was one of 9 children born to this couple including Eva; Mettie or Nettie Ione; Lultie or Lutie Belle; Demetre or Densmon or Densmore or Dedie D.; Ina Julia; Inez; Iva Maude; Zelma B.; and Emma B. PHILLIPS, all born between 1865 and 1885. Zelma married Francis “Frank” Henry AUST (1883-1965), and she died 12 Jun 1952 in Cattaraugus, NY and is buried in the Liberty Park Cemetery in Cattaraugus as well.
I’d like to get the photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley

Ida Verbarg
I have an old studio photograph belonging to the VERBARG Family which was taken at the Otto White Studio in North Vernon, IN. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900’s with the woman in the photograph appearing to be in her 20’s or 30’s at the time. Based on limited research I was able to determine that this is a photograph of Ida A. VERBARG and have gathered the following information regarding Ida and her family:
Ida A. VERBARG was b. 5 Aug 1871 in North Vernon, IN to parents Friedrich or Frederick Wilhelm or William VERBARG (1842-1915) and Eva Marie ZIMMER or ZEMMEL (1842-1906). Ida had 6 siblings including George W. VERBARG (1868-1936); Louisa E. VERBARG (b. 1869 or 1870); Charles William VERBARG (1873-1945); Frederick William VERBARG Jr. (1876-1962); Leonard William VERBARG (1878-1965); and Joseph William VERBARG (1881-1958). Ida’s mother Eva was born in Germany, the daughter of Laurene ZEMMEL and Urzla LAUBALAN.
Ida married William Edgar PHILLIPS (1868-1951) on 17 Sept 1895 in North Vernon, IN and they had two daughters Edna Josephine PHILLIPS CORDEN (1899-1980) and Marjorie L. PHILLIPS CORDEN (b. 1903). Ida died 19 Nov 1963 in Seymour, IN and she is buried in the Riverview Cemetery in that city. Both of Ida’s daughters were living in Seymour, IN when their mother passed, she was also survived by her brother Leonard W. VERBARG of Oakland, CA.
I would like to get the photograph back to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.

Marion or Marrion WINN PHILLIPS and Family
I've recovered two old photographs belonging to the WINN Family of Massachusetts. The first is a photograph of Ralph P. WINN taken in the early 1900's. There is no studio or location indicated on the photograph and Ralph appears to be in his 20's at the time the photograph was taken. The second photograph is of a family with parents and five children which was taken in the 1890's at the J. K. Patch Studio in Shelburne Falls, MA. The name Maude WINN of Davis, MA is written on the back of the photograph. I don't think Maude is in this photograph, rather it was probably a gift to her. I believe that this is likely a photograph of Maude and Ralph's sister Marion M. WINN PHILLIPS and her husband Ralph Jay PHILLIPS and their first 5 children, taken in the mid-1890's. The youngest two are girls, then a boy, and the two oldest girls, all ranging in age from infant to about 8 years.
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding the family:
Marrion or Marion Marcia WINN was b. 28 Jan 1868 in Halifax, VT to the same parents and she married Ralph Jay PHILLIPS, and they had 10 children including Laura E.; Lavinia Hamis; Edith Mary; George Henry; Alice Marion; Ralph J.; John Russel or Russell; Weslie or Wesley; Leslie; and Baby Boy PHILLIPS, all born between 1887 and 1904. Marrion died 26 Nov 1947in Charleston, SC and she was buried in Shelburne Falls, MA.
Maude or Maud Ella WINN was b. 9 Jan 1882 in Halifax, VT to these same parents and married Frank Adalbert DAVENPORT (1868-1956) on 29 Feb 1904 in Halifax, VT and they had two children including Alton Sylvester DAVENPORT (1905-1989) and Mary Emily DAVENPORT (1909-2004). Maud died 4 Feb 1974 in Rowe, MA and is buried in the East Cemetery in Rowe, MA.
I am hoping to locate someone from this WINN Family so that the photographs can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.

My grandmother Doris was a wonderful woman. She grew up the second born of four siblings. She married Bill right out of High School. Their first child, Donald Lamar, was born with collapsed lungs and passed away shortly after birth. Bill and Doris had three more children. Bill died suddenly at age 33, leaving Doris a single mother of three small children. She taught herself how to drive and got a job doing office work. She raised her children alone in a time it was both uncommon and very difficult for a woman to do. She cared for both her parents as their health declined. She remarried a childhood friend, Earl Riggs, after her children were grown and out of the house. She cared for Earl's aging mother, and buried her second husband in 2000 when he lost his battle with cancer.
When I was young we often had picnics in the fields on the farm she lived with her second husband, Earl. She was a great cook. Made the best red velvet cake in the world. She was patient. She was composed. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great grand children. She thought Pete O'Toole was very handsome and she liked Dumbledore from Harry Potter.
She took art classes after Bill died, and she painted beautiful floral pieces. She liked grandma Moses and The Cat Who books.
She was very loved by her family, and she is missed every day.

My gt gt grandmother was a Jane Phillips. On the birth certificate of her daughter, Caroline Jane Helrigel,born in Holborn London in 1851, her name is given as Jane Hebrigel ( should be Helrigel) formerly Phillips. In the 1861 census Frederick Helrigel's wife is not Jane but Elizabeth but I think they may be one and the same person.
Frederick came from Strasbourg,Alsace,France,where it was the custom to use the second name and not the first.Indeed as Caroline Jane grew up she become known as Jane. I cannot find a marriage for a Jane or an Elizabeth to Fredeick Helrigel or find them in the 1851 census. My gut feeling is that Jane Phillips' name may have been Jane Elizabeth and when her daughter became known as Jane she then used her second name to stop any confusion.
When Frederick Helrigel appears with wife Elizabeth in the 1861 census she is recorded as from Salisbury, Wiltshire c1821. I have found a Jane to fit this date and place, with parents Thomas and Sarah Phillips but this Jane seems to have married a William Adams in Salisbury in 1846 and lived in Hampshire in 1861. I can find no Elizabeth or Jane Elizabeth or Elizabeth Jane Phillips
I would love to know who she was. Can anyone help?

My greatgrandfather was Solon Phillips. He was born in 1863 in Wayne County, TN. His mother's name was Hester E.
My greatgrandmother was Francis Elizabeth "Fannie" Phillips. She was born in 1869 in TN.
They were married in 1885 in Lauderdale Co., AL.
The family legend is that Solon's surname was very difficult to spell or pronounce, so he took his bride's name "Phillips" when they married.
Solon died, after being struck by lightning, in 1902. Fannie died in 1955. I was 10 years old when she died. They are both buried in Wesley Chapel Cemetery in Lauderdale Co., AL
At the time of his death, Solon was owner (mortgaged) of over 1500 acres of farmland.
I have been totally unable to find any information about who the parents of either of them were.
I sure would appreciate it if anyone has any information or could lead me to someone who may have information.
