Hi Dave,

So good to hear back.  Tomorrow I will mail off to you two laser picture copies.  One is of Charlotte Edma Callender probably ten years or more older than the group picture.  A nice picture taken by Blodgett's Studio in Hicksville, OH.

The other is a picture of three ladies.  The lady on the left is my grandmother (Oza L. Callender's wife), Catherine Stewart Warburton Callender.  She passed away in 1922 so this is some time before that. (Tragic, she had cancer and my Mom was only 13 at the time.)  The lady in the middle is her mother, Martha Stewart Warburton.  She was born in 1855 in Tooele, UT to Benjamin Thompson Stewart and Agnes Gillespie.  She was their 3rd child and married Richard Warburton in 1871 at the age of 16, being his second (polygamous) wife.  My Mom was raised by her off and on from age 9 on to her graduation from high school.  Martha died in 1932 (on her late husbands 103rd birthday!)  The lady on the right I have not identified but she certainly has the features to indicate she is a close family relative.  It also looks as if they are dressed for a very formal occassion - maybe a funeral?  At her husbands death in 1907, Martha would have been 52 and Catherine 29.
