Martin, Krewson, VanArsdale, Snuff & Cunningham Family Photos

Contributor:	Kimberly (Martin) Richard on 22 November 2005 & 29 November 2005
Comments:	All of the family information, and photos, albums, journals etc. came to me via my grandmother. Janet Krewson/ Martin. They seemed to have been passed down through the women all the way back from Martha Cunningham, each adding thier own personal items and belongings. Several of the family photos were in Marybelle Snuff's album, she was given as a child in Red Lion ,in 1865, by her teacher Issac Gustin. There is jewelry, glass and journals from Marybelle and May and a Civil War journal from Peter VanArsdale. There were daguerreotypes that I assume were Martha Cunningham's, then Marybelle's...I've had to buy a magnifying glass to read the journals because they wrote so darn small...to preserve paper I guess?? ( 3 year diary in one tiny bank book...my God, you go blind trying to read it! ) Also my grandfather, Edward Martin, was a portrait photographer in Dayton. My goodness, he was very good at making sure there were photo's and portraits of everyone galore! He was very diligent at making copies of my grandmothers really old negatives and storing them well

1907 or 1908 Family Reunion from Kimberly (Martin) Richard*who writes,
"Linda Gunder and I both had the same family reunion photo in our old family photo stash, but could each only identify our own family members. I just started working with Marybelle Snuff/VanArsdale's great-granddaughter in Dayton. She had the same photo but hers had all the family members listed on the back! So here goes: Printed as it reads on the back....

* my own note....this was "Van Krewson's" photo, handed down to his daughter Anne Krewson Coder. Anne sent me this copy that has the names on the back. "Van Krewson's" full name is actually Wilbur VanArsdale Krewson...his father's name was Wilbur B. , listed above. He was always known as "Van".
Also the name Mrs. Nina Garder Heckathorn....I am not sure if it suppose to be Garber...it is translated as written. I am not sure where Sonora Ohio is, but there are several Warren County folks in it.
