Unknown Family. This photo was taken at Plum Creek, Nebraska. Plum Creek, NB is very near the Iowa border. This photo was in the John Luther Condron Album from Jefferson County, Pennsylvania. (John Luther Condron and family migrated from Pennsylvania to the Willamette Valley, Oregon in the early 1900's) The only family I am aware of in the Iowa/Nebraska region was that of David Condron and William Condron (both uncles to John Luther Condron, son of John Condron b. 1816 to Jacob and Elizabeth Lockhard-Condron.


Update: December 2011 - This photo has been identified as the family of David H Condron by two sources related to David H Condron. More details will be added to the photo via my Geneology webpage @ WWW.LookingGlassLoft.com.

Update: December 2011 - This photo had been confirmed as Abigail Catherine Condron.



This unidentified photo was taken in Cozad, Nebraska. Cozad, NB is very near Plum Creek, NB where the previous photo originated. The back of the photo says "Abbie". I do not know of an Abbie in the family, it may have been a nickname.

Unidentified tintype photo. Likely from Pennsylvania or New York. Condron's, Brook's and Bowser's are found in Pennsylvania. Brook's are also located in New York at the time of this tintype.

This photo is likely of the Bowser or Brook's family. Margaret "Maggie" Bowser (married to John Luther Condron) took a trip in 1889-1890 to New York to visit relations. This could possibly have been taken during that time period.
