Richards, Mrs. D.E. (Allegheny Co PA)

MRS. D.E. RICHARDS

Identification on photo: Mrs. D.E. Richards, Xmas '93
Photo taken: Morris & Harris Studio, Sharpsburg, Tarentum & Jeannette PA, 1893
Purchased: Kamin's Moment in Time, Feb 2020 South Florida Fairgrounds

Possibly not enough clues to solve this one.

Quast, Ida & Lizzie

IDA & LIZZIE QUAST

Identification on photo: Ida and Lizzie Quast
Photo taken: Ribble Studio, St Peter Minnesota, circa 1894
Purchased: Kamin's Moment in Time, Feb 2020 South Florida Fairgrounds

I suspect these girls may be part of a large Quast family which lived in nearby Janesville MN. But I am still researching this.

Berkman, Clara (Chicago IL)

CLARA BORKMAN / BERKMAN ?

Identification on photo: Clara B_rkm__
Photo taken: Stafford Studio, Chicago IL, circa 1925
Purchased: Feb 2020 South Florida Fairgrounds Antiques Show

As you can see, the surname is not entirely legible. Could be Borkman, Bjorkman, Berkman, Burkmier, Buckner, etc.

Hairstyle and clothing point to 1925-1929.

The woman appears to be in perhaps her early 20's so this would indicate a birth year of around 1902 or so.

Anderson, Axell (unknown loc.)

AXELL ANDERSON

Identification on photo: Axell Anderson
Photo taken: unknown photographer and location, circa 1910?
Purchased: Feb 2020 South Florida Fairgrounds Antiques Show

I have determined that "Axell Anderson" is a very common name among Swedish immigrants to the Midwest.  The photo was found in the same booth as other photos known to have come from Illinois, Iowa and Washington State.

Nadler, John (possibly NY?)

JOHN NADLER

Identification on photo: John Nadler
Photo taken: unknown location, circa 1930
Purchased: 2015 August, Greenwich NY Antique Fair

Without having done much research yet, I believe this to be John Nadler (1867-1935), an Austrian immigrant who was the owner of a Grocery in Amsterdam NY.

UPDATE - identity is confirmed and John Nadler is heading home to his great-grandson.

Cainer, Walter (Los Angeles, CA)

WALTER CAINER

Identification on photo: Walter Cainer (or Caines)
Photograph Taken: J Fred Hartsook Studio, Los Angeles CA, 1908
Purchased: 2017 Wildwood Antique Mall, Wildwood FL

Inscription on back says:
"Merry Xmas to Aunt Elma & Uncle Conrad, Walter Cainer, 8 years 9 mo., 1908"

This would indicate a birth date of around Feb/Mar of 1900. The surname could be CAINES, but I really don't think so. The last letter of the surname does not match the last letter of the word "years."
