Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding these two young women:
Helen “Nellie” YOUNGER was b. 6 Nov 1866 in Illinois to parents Thomas William YOUNGER (1830-1907) and Elizabeth EDWARDS (1835-1869). Nellie was one of 6 children born to this couple including Thomas William “Bill”; John; Andrew; Flora or Florance; Mary Elizabeth; and Nellie YOUNGER, all born between 1857 and 1865. The family was living in Peoria, IL in 1870. After her mother died her father married Sarah NOFSINGER (1838-1891) and a son Charles Guy YOUNGER was born in 1874.
Margaret “Maggie” YOUNGER was b. 29 Jun 1854 in Renfrew, Scotland to parents Andrew YOUNGER (1827-1915) and Margaret S. HAMER (1828-1899). Maggie was one of 7 children born to this couple including Mary; Julia Ann; Maggie; Thomas William; Andrew; Joseph Hamer; and Ellen YOUNGER all born between 1849 and 1870. In 1870 the family was living in Peoria, IL. Maggie married Thomas Marshall LONG (1854-1900) in Sacramento, CA in 1881 and they had 5 children including Emma Marion or Marian; Andrew Younger; Jessica “Jerdie” E.; Hiram Chester; and Russell or Russel Thomas LONG, all born between 1881 and 1890.
Maggie was living in Oakland, CA in 1920 and died 13 Dec 1927 in San Francisco, CA and her obituary listed her surviving children including Marion L. STEBBINS; Jessica I. HAWLEY; Hiram C. LONG; and Russell I. LONG; and her surviving siblings, Andrew YOUNGER and Josephine YOUNGER.
I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that these wonderful old studio 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.
Thanks,
Shelley
