  • A Word From John                                   

    A Word From John

    I started collecting lost photos after doing a project for my father.  He was keeper of the Perkins family archives, storing several generations of family photos.  A few years ago I set about scanning the entire archive, around 23,000 photos I think.  I finished that project and gave him a copy of the complete archive.  I sometimes ask him about some of those pictures (Who is this?  When did that happen?  Do you remember such-and-such happening?) but it bugs me that we don't know who a lot of the people are in the older photos.

    I visit auctions, swapmeets, and thrift stores and I occasionally find photo albums or packets of photos from a few years back to over 100 years ago.  It bugs me the same way as my family archive- so many memories, so much time, so much history lost, all these photos destined for...what, a dumpster in back of some anonymous junk store?

    I started this project because I wanted to preserve what I could of the lives and memories of the people that took these photos.

    There is an extensive FAQ here.  If you have any questions or complaints, that's where to start.

    Click on the link for each family under the Photos tab to see the page for that family.

    If you are one of the people in these photos, if you know any of the people in these photos, or if you still have any questions, please contact me here.

    Family 1  (my family)

    Since the rule of thumb for this page is to include photos that are at least 20-25 years old, most of the Family 1 photos are from the 1970's and 1980's. I haven't included the Perkins family archive because there are a number of people in them that I know and who are currently alive.  I know the photographers for many of these photos.  In creating this page, for Family 1, I am working under several conditions requested by various people as to which photos I can and can't post.  For this reason, the Family 1 photos posted here consist mainly of a trolley museum, cats, my early childhood, and my high school (graduated 1989). There are currently (as of April 1, 2016) 151 images in this set.

   Family 18  

1,344 images in this set.

This family is comprised of 3 albums and some loose photos, all of which appear to be part of the same family, that of Dr. Arthur Guido Rudolph Schloesser / Castles. 

There are a number of pictures having to do with an Eric E Eastman, student and instructor at Iowa State University's Agronomy (soils) Department around the 1910's, who appears to have married a Daisy Schloesser, who appears to be daughter to Dr Schloesser.

This group of photos was acquired at a swap meet.  The frustrating part is the vendor said he started with around 30 to 35 albums, all from the same family, and this was all that was left.

As near as I can tell, the common focus of these photos appears to be Daisy Schloesser- she's connected to the Schloesser family (being a Schloesser herself) and Iowa State University via her husband Eric E Eastman.  I am not sure if Daisy Schloesser and Daisy the cook are the same person or not.

The Kitty in the photos does not appear to be the Kittie McDonell in the genealogy below, because Kitty was aunt to Daisy and would (in the mid-1910's) have had to be in her 60's when the photo was taken.  The Kitty in the photos does not appear to be near the age of 60.

Castle Sans Souci Again Scene of Brilliant Musicale Honoring Episcopalian Archdeacon

An appreciation By Frank Vincent Waddy

An unusually large and brilliantassemblage of friends congregated on Sunday evening at Castle Sans Souci, the mecca of numerous exacting and discriminating pilgrims in search of the best and highest in music, song, literature and art, combined in rare blend with the amenities of social contact and entertainment. These gatherings at the famous home of Dr. and Mrs. Alfred Guido Castles invariably furnish artistic experience of an exclusive order, but on this occasion in particular the wealth of vocal and instrumental talent present, together with the high pressure of celebrities in the audience produced a combination difficult to duplicate except in great cosmopolitan art centers. A salient feature of these delightful gatherings is their informal atmostphere- no one knowing definltely at the beginning ot the evening who is to be present, though the comprehensive list ot invitations always includes a rich profusion of interesting names, from whom material for several distinct and varied programs could be gathered.

Thus on Sunday a series of charming numbers was rendercd by some of the younger vocalists among the guests, while later there were songs, piano and violin selections. The informal concert was opened by Miss Kathleen Shippen with a Chopin prelude and other selections, including one of her own compositions, "Murmur of the Sea.”

Monsieur Victor Carly, an eminent French dramatic baritone, sang Bon Jour Suzon, Vour Dansez Marquise and Thy Beaming Eyes, the last by McDowell. Salem Parker, recently from the trenches in France, delivered several very amusing recitations. Senator Juan Aquilar Adame, graduate of the Nacional Conservatorie of Music, of Mexico city, played the Vals Intimo and other compositions of his own. Cyrii Dwight Edwards sang the Arià from the Vulcan Song of the opera Philimon and Baucies and it seemed that his magnifiecent voice roused the armored knights to rapt attention while the ancestral portraits, heraldic banners, coats of arms and warlike weapons around the gallery completed the illusion of some ancient baronial hall, where far into the night the glorious tournaments of song would wake the very walls to life.

The Countess Irma Mirafieri, arrayed in a most resplendent costume, entranced her audience with a French Chansonette, also Tosti's Goodbye In La Tosca, which in intensity of feeling and strongly characteristic interpretations could not be surpassed.

V. D. Pometti, leader of the Majestic theatre orchestra, assisted by Senor Adame gave two violin selections that were keenly enjoyed, completing a program of striking excellence and brilliant artistry.

Among those privileged to enjoy this lengthy entertainment were the Monseigneur A. Fortin, Archdeacon of the Episcopal church in Canada for forty-two years, who is not only world famous in ecclesiastic circles, but preeminent in the literary and social world of Europe and the Orient; Prince Paul Troubetzkey, famous sculptor, who is executing the General Otis monument; Sir James Arbuckle, Mrs. Fay Clark Babcock and Countess von Hardenburg, who rendered great assistance in making the musicale a success; Count von Hardenburg, Hon. And Mrs. Francis A. Hoffman jr., cousins of Dr. Castles Sylvester Hoffman, Frank Vincent Waddy, W. J. McCloskey, Miss Kathleen Kerrigan, Mrs. Sarah McCleod Kerrigan and some two hundred of the socially elite of Los Angeles and Hollywood.
