Susan Druck
A recent discovery on Ebay was a photo of a Susan Druck, which the owner acquired in 1976 in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. I believe this may be a picture of Susan Druck, daughter of George Druck and Catharine Shell. Susan was born in 1845 and died in 1880 in York County, Pa. She had turned 34 about two months before her death. Her occupation was listed as cigar maker.
Susan may have been in her late twenties in this photo. How it came to be in Massachusetts is anybody’s guess!
I may post the photo on www.deadfred.com to see if anyone else recognizes her.

Judy, That is quite a find. I have so many of those kind of pictures and I know I will never know who they are. So sad

It’s too bad our ancestors didn’t think to identify who was in those early photographs! But I guess they never thought they’d be so important to someone, someday.
