Submitted by
Sammi Ellen E. Brechtel,
great great granddaughter of Eliza Jane McCune Hamill
Written on the back of the photograph: "For Eliza
Jane Hamill - Edward Reid and Samuel Orvile
[?], They are only 6 month's old."
Photo from an old Album given to Eliza Jane McCune
Hamill by her Aunt Maria Getty. Eliza and
two of her sons came to America about 1870-75. They came from Ballymoney,
Northern Ireland to Philadelphia, where they stayed with relatives until her
brother James Bell McCune came to get her and the
boys to take them to relatives in Allegheny City, Pa, then on to Iowa to meet
her oldest son Samuel, then travel on to the
Palouse country of Washington.
