• Unknown couple - Ramona Cote sent this photo and wrote:

  "I have a photo of a couple believed to be from the Rushville, Buchanan Co., MO area as that is where my paternal grandparents were from.  There's no one left in the family that would know who these two people are.  It appears the picture may have been taken in the 1920's or 30's at a studio either in Atchison, Kansas or St. Joseph, MO.  They seem to have some American Indian features, but all my family were of English/German/Irish descent.  The woman could possible be a McKinney from the area, but this is only a guess when I compare to some other pictures in the family photo box.  Thanks for any help you might give to solving this mystery."

  If you can identify this couple please notify Ramona Cote at [email protected]

Contributions from Susan N. Stice

These were in photographs belonging to my Grandmother who was born (1912), and died (1999) in Cass County, Missouri.  I have not found anyone with the surnames noted on the photos to be in our family but it is always possible that they are relatives. Some of the surnames associated with my Grandmother would be Long, Nokes, McCormick, Gordon, Gustin(e), Stice,  Richardson, Beard, Havener, Sulser, Ford."
