Wordless Wednesday is a daily
prompt at Geneabloggers that asks family historians to create a post in which
the main focus is a photograph or image.
While I don’t have a definite identification for this
sweet baby boy, I suspect this was my great-grandmother Mary Theresa Sheehan
Killeen Walsh’s child by her first husband, John Joseph Killeen. In the 1900 Federal Census for the Bronx, New
York, she declares 3 of 4 children living.
There is a four year gap between Matthew and Mae, so probably this child
was born and died between 1896 and 1898.
The photogher was W. H. Saul, whose studio was located at
2034 Third Avenue at 112th Street in New York City.

Oh, he didn't survive? Love his outfit.
ReplyDeleteI like it too. It's really different from all the white dresses I'm used to seeing on babies.
DeleteSuch a cute boy.
ReplyDeleteHe does have a pretty face.
DeleteYes a pretty face with the intellect look.
DeleteWhat a sweet baby. Isn't it sad to think of all of the children who didn't survive in those days?
