Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding these BRADBURY Family member:

The couple was said to have three children Jesse; Jessie; and Strong BRADBURY. Jessie married Edgar Eugene GATEWOOD (1866-1957) on 4 Nov 1891 in Cuyahoga Co., OH and they had five children including, John Edgar; Joseph Strong; Edgar E.; Adeline; and Frederick Bradbury GATEWOOD, all born between 1893 and 1912.

Julia Maria BRADBURY was b. 21 Oct 1840 in Cambridge, ME to Caleb BRADBURY (1801-1879) and Almira Elisabeth BROWN (1805-1879). Julia was one of 8 children born to this couple including, Elizabeth Almira; Juliette; Caleb Brown; Horace Dennison; Julia Maria; George Robert; Frederick Thomas; and Mary Emma BRADBURY, all born between 1829 and 1856. Julia married William Henry CARPENTER (1837-1914) and Julia died 6 Jan 1881 in Boston, MA.

I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that this wonderful group of photographs can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley Cardiel shelleyrcardiel@gmail.com 2020 May 23

MATTESON Family

I've rescued an old photograph of Clarence Edwin MATTESON which was taken at the J. T. Syftestad Studio in Appleton, MN. Clarence is identified as 3 1/2 months old at the time the photograph was taken sometime in the early 1890's. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Clarence and his family:

Clarence Edwin MATTESON was b. 6 Feb 1891 in Appleton, MN to parents Elbridge Horatio MATTESON (1853-1938) and Aldie L. AVERY (1859-1897). Clarence was one of two children born this couple, a sister was born and died in 1879. Clarence was married more than once. He married Harriet ROBINSON in Park Ridge, IL on 2 Oct 1917 and she died in 1922. Clarence then married for a second time on 10 Jun 1924 in Maricopa Co. AZ to Alice Fern or Ferne BUZAN. Clarence and Alice had a son Gordon Avery MATTESON b. 2 Nov 1925 in Tucson, AZ along with two other children including a son Richard Buzan MATTESON (1931-1992) and a daughter.

Clarence was a Dentist and he died 4 Mar 1974 in Tucson, AZ and is buried in the Evergreen Memorial Park Cemetery in Tucson, AZ. His obituary lists his surviving family including wife Alice B. MATTESON of Tucson, AZ; Dr. Gordon A. MATTESON of Pinetop, AZ; Richard B. MATTESON of Tucson, AZ; and a daughter Jean REINOEHL of Phoenix, AZ.

I am hoping to return the photograph to his family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley Cardiel shelleyrcardiel@gmail.com 2021 Mar 03
