I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Margaret
STONEHOCKER
BILLINGSLEY which was taken at the McAdam Bros. Studio in Mt.
Pleasant,
Iowa. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's
with Margaret
likely in her 20's at the time it was taken. In addition to her
name
someone appears to have also written a name (PICKERING) and
address (Box 456
? 98065) on the back of the photograph.
Based on limited research and thanks to the assistance of some
family
researchers I know the following regarding Margaret and her
husband:
Margaret STONEHOCKER b. 22 Nov 1851 in Harrison, OH to parents
John
STONEHOCKER (b. 24 Oct 1814 in Jefferson Co., OH) and Mary PEW
(b. 1816 in
OH). She married Andrew Magee BILLINGSLEY (b. 27 May 1851 in
Harrison Co.,
OH to parents Samuel Kirke BILLINGSLEY and Rebecca Fessler
KNIGHT) on 28 Mar
1880 in Salem, IA. There is some indication that they may have
had a child,
Clyde BILLINGSLEY b. in the 1880's which died at birth or a very
young age.
Her husband Andrew died 21 Mar 1913 in Texico, NM and in 1920
Margaret was a
widow living with her nephew, Harlan M. LAMM in Carleton, NE.
Margaret died
11 Nov 1922. She can be traced through census records as
follows:

member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please
