I've "rescued" an old photograph of Lew PETERSON which was taken at the
Fowler Studio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The photograph appears to have
been taken in the 1880's with Lew likely in his late teens or early 20's at
the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to find Lewis
PETERSON living in Philadelphia during the 1910 census with records
providing the following information:



Lewis PETERSON, age 35, married 5 years, born in NJ, parents born in NJ,
Owns Oyster Business

Margaret PETERSON, wife, age 33, married 5 years, 1 child/1 living, born PA,
parents born DE

Lewis PETERSON Jr, son, age 3, born PA

Mary ASKINS, Mother in Law, age 59, widow, 1 child/1 living, born DE,
parents born DE

James VARL, Boarder/Employee, age 34, born MD, parents born MD, a Helper in
Oyster Business

Cecilia DOURPHY, Boarder/Employee, age 19, born PA, parents born Ireland/PA,
a Housekeeper



I'm hoping to locate someone from his family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a
member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.



Thanks,

Shelley
